It discusses how ECM provides a reliable way for all departments to securely access the same, current, accurate information and how sharing the cost for implementation and ongoing IT resources can provide big benefits to your bottom line.

ECM Solutions for Education

Infrastructure to bridge all of your critical information, organization-wide.
ImageSource has helped a variety of educational institutions improve efficiencies, security, compliance and competition. Our enterprise solutions combine best-in-breed information management technology, enabling all departments to securely access the same, current, accurate information. We help you optimize your specific, departmental business processes with infrastructure that streamlines information management throughout your whole organization.
Components can be selectively integrated to meet specific business challenges in every department, both large and small. Departments with standing document imaging systems may greatly benefit from eForms, workflow, portals or integrations with line-of-business systems.
A singular platform that provides document management for the entire institution yields a host of benefits that includes dramatic reductions in pooled resources (budget, IT staff), improved compliance and immediate access to shared information.

Admissions & Registrar 
Advanced extraction technology can be utilized to capture data from paper and electronic sources for transcripts, applications and test scores and push it directly to line-of-business systems. Enabling self-service, student-facing portals can allow credentialed access to transcripts and other critical documentation. The ability to quickly turn around admission requests improves your service to potential students, making you more competitive.
Financial Aid
An ECM system allows you to not only handle the surges of financial aid applications, but also ties them to other student documentation used for admissions and transcript processing. Capture information in any format, from email to fax to paper documents, while an automated workflow will allow your staff to more quickly turn around critical decisions from any location.
Accounting & Reporting
Improved processing speed, access, security and compliance are benefits of automating your accounting processes. AP processes can be directly integrated with any established line-of-business software, whether PeopleSoft, SAP or a proprietary system. Approvers, typically dispersed across campus and remote locations, can view images of AP documents in process (such as purchase orders) via a portal for speedy, paperless approval.
Human Resources
With the compliance issues surrounding accurate records, HR departments can leverage an ECM system to meet their legal obligations. Further, an enterprise system allows information to be supplied, regardless of location, and provides secure access for your users to locate and update records. Utilizing ECM technology, you’ll more easily coordinate with other related functions, like payroll, to streamline HR-related business processes.
Marketing & Communications
Attracting and retaining top students is more competitive than ever, while fundraising is increasingly arduous. The educational organization that has the ability to control messaging has a big advantage. ECM infrastructure helps you overcome the challenges that Marketing and Communications departments face, whether accessing content in disparate locations, or enabling fresh content for your websites. An ECM system will allow you to securely manage your digital assets, automate processes and integrate with database systems, providing efficiencies that will give you the competitive edge.
