Since 2001, Sightlines has provided members online access to facilities data, industry trends, and benchmarking
As the depth of our analysis and web technology has advanced, so has the nature of what we call the member portal
One way we harness ideas for future developments is by soliciting feedback from you, our members
So at the beginning of last year, we asked many of you about what you liked about the current site and what you thought we could do better
We collected a lot of great comments from our members
You wanted a user interface that was easier to navigate – more intuitive
You wanted to be able to access data more easily and with fewer clicks
You wanted better integration of our key findings
You wanted to be able to tell when data or other pieces of your site have changed
We took all that advice into account and today we are very excited to show you our new member portal
The look is fresher
It’s easier to find your way
And it’s easier to get at your data
What does the new member portal do? It does more.
All Sightlines members will benefit from more access, more context, and more support.
However, ROPA+ members get even more from the member portal
ROPA+ users get more data and more control
The new member portal puts your facilities data even closer with its new easy to navigate user interface.
Customized dashboards give you easy access to those facilities metrics you use most often. Put these benchmarks directly on your homepage or create a custom dashboard that you can revisit.
You’ll spend less time looking for deliverables or base data. The document library makes it simple to you access reports, presentations, and spreadsheets you need.
Benchmarking is now only one click away. Get easier access to the knowledge created by comparing your performance across 300 colleges and universities nationwide.

In 2013, Sightlines launched the next generation of our facilities analysis service, ROPA+.
Strongly based in our industry-leading Discovery process, ROPA+ utilizes the concepts of Prediction and Performance to further enhance the data available to each member.
ROPA+ empowers you to make informed plans for the years ahead.
Leverage powerful predictive analytics to anticipate facilities’ lifecycles, generate granular lifecycle benchmarks, and accurately track performance.
In addition, ROPA+ members get even more out of the Member Portal:
The Return on Physical Assets (ROPA+) is a three phased process designed to align parties at your institution, influence policy, and affect change.
Phase 1: Discovery - Assembles and validates base data, establishes historical trends, benchmarks to peer institutions and details relationships among operations, capital, and service.
Phase 2: Prediction – Provides a forward looking view of facilities by predicting capital needs, understanding pending risks, and creating future operating targets.
Phase 3: Performance – Allows users to track performance against best in class institutions, highlight progress, and adjust strategies if necessary.
Perhaps most importantly, ROPA+ members have more control
Don’t see the benchmark you want? Create their own benchmarks and charts from any field in Sightlines’ database.
Then share it with your colleagues or Sightlines team to see if other members might find is useful.
