What is Watermark Faculty Success
Watermark Faculty Success is a faculty activity reporting and academic workflow system used by colleges and universities to collect, manage, and report faculty teaching, research, service, and administrative activities. It supports processes such as annual reviews, promotion and tenure, accreditation and assessment reporting, and faculty CV generation. The product centers on configurable data collection screens, workflow routing, and reporting outputs for institutional stakeholders. It is typically used by faculty members, department chairs, deans, and institutional research/assessment teams.
Faculty activity data capture
The system provides structured data entry for common faculty activity domains such as teaching, scholarly work, grants, service, and professional development. It supports ongoing collection rather than one-time reporting, which helps institutions maintain a current record of faculty activity. This focus is distinct from student information and classroom tools that primarily track learners rather than faculty outputs.
Review and tenure workflows
Faculty Success supports routed workflows for activities like annual evaluations and promotion and tenure packets. It centralizes supporting materials and reduces reliance on email and shared drives for review cycles. This aligns with higher-education HR and academic governance needs more than K–12-oriented school operations platforms.
Reporting and CV outputs
The product generates standardized reports and curriculum vitae documents from the underlying activity records. It helps departments and colleges produce consistent outputs for internal reviews and external reporting requirements. This reporting orientation complements, rather than replaces, broader education ERP suites that focus on finance, student records, or facilities.
Not a full education ERP
Faculty Success does not function as a comprehensive education ERP covering finance, procurement, payroll, or end-to-end student lifecycle management. Institutions typically need separate systems for SIS and core administrative operations. As a result, it is best evaluated as a specialized faculty information and workflow tool rather than an all-in-one campus platform.
Integration effort is required
To reduce duplicate entry, many institutions integrate the product with identity management, HR systems, course data sources, and research/grants repositories. The scope and complexity of integrations vary by institution and can require IT resources and ongoing maintenance. Without integrations, faculty may need to manually enter or reconcile data from other systems.
Configuration and change management
Implementations often require careful configuration of data fields, activity taxonomies, and workflow steps to match institutional policies. Changes to review processes or reporting definitions can require administrative rework and user retraining. Adoption depends on faculty participation, so institutions may need governance and support to sustain data quality.
