ENNCloud Technologies: Advisory for Higher Education IT
ENNCloud Technologies, a CommunityForce partner, advises colleges and universities — with a particular focus on HBCUs — on technology strategy, cloud, and grants. Where CommunityForce provides the platform, ENNCloud provides the people who help an institution plan, select, and run it well.
Four Advisory Practices, One Goal
ENNCloud's practices cover the decisions a campus IT organization actually faces — from the strategy in the CIO's office to the database behind the student information system.
CIO Advisory
Technology strategy and IT governance for institutions that need executive-level guidance — strategic roadmaps, governance alignment, and advisory support for the CIO's office.
Cloud Advisory
Assessment of the cloud environment an institution already has and guidance on where it should go next — so cloud decisions are made deliberately rather than inherited.
Grants Advisory
Consulting across the whole grant lifecycle, for organizations that award funding and for the institutions that receive it — the practice closest to what CommunityForce builds.
Banner DBA Services
Database administration for campuses running Ellucian Banner — keeping the system of record behind admissions, registration, and financial aid healthy and performing.
Grants Advisory, on Both Sides of the Award
ENNCloud works with organizations that give grants and with institutions that win them. That is what makes the partnership natural: the questions their advisors answer are the ones a CommunityForce implementation raises.
For Grantmakers:
- Strategic planning and RFP development
- Grants management platform selection
- Business process consulting
- Virtual program office outsourcing
- Dashboards that turn grant data into decisions
For Grant Recipients:
- Pre-award opportunity tracking across departments
- Grants research and program development
- Post-award organization and automation
- Compliance monitoring through closeout
- Reporting that shows funders what their money did
Who You Work With
The Collective™
ENNCloud is organized as a network of advisory executives rather than a bench of junior consultants — people with a decade or more in Director, VP, and C-suite roles at Fortune 1000 companies.
Rooted in Higher Education
The practice is built around colleges and universities, with a deliberate focus on HBCUs — engagements include Alcorn State University and Delaware State University.
Investigate, Impact, Innovate
Every engagement starts by understanding how the institution actually works today, then drives measurable change — rather than opening with a product recommendation.
