SUNY Polytechnic Chooses Explorance BlueX to Improve Institutional Research, Surveys, and Decision-Making

Montreal, Quebec – March 2026 – Explorance, a global leader in feedback analytics, is pleased to announce a new partnership with SUNY Polytechnic Institute. The institution has selected Explorance BlueX to build a unified survey infrastructure across departments and research centers, support research-grade studies as part of its broader research advancement goals, and enable connected, longitudinal data that strengthens institutional surveys and data-driven decision-making. 

Prior to selecting BlueX, SUNY Polytechnic faced challenges with a fragmented survey ecosystem across departments and research centers. Multiple survey tools were used independently across the institution, creating silos that made it difficult to manage survey governance, maintain consistent data structures, and track insights over time. As staff roles changed, access to survey accounts was often lost, leading to gaps in institutional knowledge and limiting the ability to conduct longitudinal analysis. 

After evaluating several alternative platforms, SUNY Polytechnic selected Explorance BlueX for its intuitive, familiar interface, which made survey creation easy for faculty, researchers, and staff. The platform’s institutional licensing model enabled multiple departments and research centers to access BlueX without separate licenses or drawing on grant funds. Additionally, BlueX provides connected and persistent institutional data, ensuring survey results remain owned by the university and accessible over time to track trends, support accreditation, and enable research-grade studies. 

The platform’s ease of use was a key factor in encouraging adoption across the institution. Users repeatedly described the interface as intuitive, often comparing the experience to working in a Microsoft Word document. At the same time, BlueX enables teams to conduct more advanced analysis through granular analytics and the ability to export data to statistical tools such as SPSS, supporting the institution’s growing research and assessment efforts. 

By implementing BlueX as an institutional solution, SUNY Polytechnic can expand research capacity across its growing number of research centers without requiring individual licenses. This unified infrastructure ensures that survey data remains connected and accessible over time to support institutional assessment, accreditation efforts, and strategic research initiatives. 

With more than 20 years of experience supporting higher education institutions worldwide, Explorance helps universities transform feedback and research data into actionable insights through scalable and intuitive platforms. This partnership with SUNY Polytechnic further reinforces Explorance’s commitment to helping institutions strengthen research, advance institutional assessment, and foster a culture of inquiry and continuous improvement.
