Pathways To Value

Summer/Fall 2025

Welcome to the inaugural issue of Pathways to Value, a new Edge publication celebrating the people, partnerships, and ideas that turn collaboration into impact. In this first edition, explore how Geneva College’s network modernization with CBTS, and new partnerships with Workday and IronBrick, are expanding access to enterprise-class solutions across higher education.

Discover how shared services, virtualization, and the Higher Education Reference Models (HERM) initiative are helping institutions align strategy, strengthen outcomes, and thrive amid change. You’ll also meet Walter Lewis, whose leadership has reimagined cooperative procurement and advanced EdgeMarket’s mission of value-driven innovation.

Each story reminds us that value is created through connection—and that together, we’re building stronger, more collaborative pathways to the future.
