Faculty Activity Reporting Software
Faculty Atlas vs. Watermark Faculty Success
Considering an alternative to Watermark Faculty Success, formerly Digital Measures? See how the two approaches to faculty activity reporting compare.
Digital Measures is now Watermark Faculty Success
If you’re looking for something simpler, you’re not alone
Digital Measures has been used by colleges and universities for many years to collect and manage faculty activity information. Today, the product is called Watermark Faculty Success and has grown into a much broader faculty management platform.
That broader approach can be a good fit for institutions looking for extensive faculty workflows and capabilities.
But not every institution needs a system that does everything.
Faculty Atlas takes a more focused approach. It is designed around the core job of faculty activity reporting: collecting faculty activities, keeping information current, generating reports, and making that information useful throughout the institution.

Faculty activity reporting without all the extra baggage
Faculty Atlas gives faculty one straightforward place to maintain their activities and gives administrators a central source of information for reporting, CVs, accreditation, faculty profiles, and more.
Less to learn. Less to configure. Less hassle.
- Straightforward for faculty
- Focused on the work institutions actually need

Simple doesn't mean limited
You don’t have to choose between simple and flexible
A simpler system shouldn’t mean a rigid system.
Every institution has its own reporting requirements, activity types, and ways of using faculty information. Faculty Atlas can adapt as those requirements evolve.
New activity types and reports can be added when your institution needs them, while the everyday experience remains focused and straightforward.
Simple where it should be simple. Flexible where it needs to be.

Choosing between the two
Faculty Atlas is a better fit for institutions that want less complexity
Watermark Faculty Success is a broad faculty management platform with extensive faculty workflows and capabilities.
Faculty Atlas is a better fit for institutions whose primary need is straightforward faculty activity reporting without taking on a larger faculty management platform than they need.
Faculty Atlas gives faculty and administrators the core tools they need to collect, manage, and use faculty activity information while keeping the experience focused and straightforward.
You don’t need the biggest system. You need the right system.
