Why is it important to analyse the usage of a student portal?

Competition within the educational industry is high and establishments are capitalising on their reputation to raise money and invest in infrastructure to attract the best candidates.
Historically within HE students competed for a limited number of places but now universities battle to enrol as many scholars as they can. There is an ever-increasing pressure on universities to attract and retain students who now form half of a university’s income.
