A TURNKEY SOLUTION FOR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Revolutionize your educational institution with smart and secure document management.
Every department in educational institutions benefits from eliminating filing cabinets across campus and having access to a single source of truth for important documents and information.
STUDENT SERVICES
Automate online application capture and archival while student transcripts and other paper documents are scanned at the point of receipt. E-mail correspondence or other electronically created files are stored as part of the associated record within the repository. The workflow component of the Docubase Education Suite routes information to the appropriate personnel based upon that department’s unique set of business rules.
REGISTRAR
Maintain a digital file for every student with all documents at your fingertips including transcripts, completed forms, records, etc. Answer queries and serve your students quickly. Further required actions are handled using e-mail or the Docubase ‘work baskets’ allowing student documents to be directed to the appropriate user, further enhancing the process flow within your institution. Transcripts no longer need to be manually keyed; with Docubase once the Transcript is scanned the data can be automatically transferred.
ADMISSIONS
Digitally capture important information at every step of the intake process. Automate review and approval flows. Leverage intelligent capture technology to quickly sort and evaluate transcripts and other academic records.
FINANCIAL AID
Digitally manage the wide range of required documents such as student aid forms, financial aid reports, financial aid applications, tax forms, academic records, and more, from a single secure platform. Imagine the phone rings or a student enters your facility with a question on the status of his/her financial aid package. In days past, the search for this information might be overwhelming but not today. With Docubase Education Suite, one simply needs to point and click the student’s name, ID, or another pertinent piece of information from within the College/University system in order to retrieve all of the student information right at the desktop or mobile device.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Streamline business operations. Managing invoices, tracking purchase orders, managing student financial accounts are simplified by electronically linking the documents to the corresponding files and transactions in your accounting software.
RECRUITMENT & HR
Docubase Education Suite provides the ability to capture and maintain all applicant information in a centralized and securely encrypted repository that is accessible by all authorized personnel throughout the campus. Documents, such as resumes, references, and referral letters are presented to the hiring team quickly and easily. Annotation features allow for the addition of comments without changing the original document. Important HR documents such as employment and benefits enrollment applications, benefit claim forms, personnel records and all associated personnel documents are captured and stored electronically, allowing you to retrieve a resume or answer a payroll or benefit query without leaving your desk.
Benefits management improvements result through point and click retrieval of employee paperwork like flex plan selections, claims, W-4 forms, 401(k) elections, and insurance updates. Employee satisfaction is increased as a result of expeditious responses to inquiries and enhanced turnaround times when faced with life-changing events.
Docubase Education Suite allows you to link into your payroll application and retrieve stored records like Forms 1099, W-4 and W-2, for instant reconciliation of issued paychecks against records in your payroll software. Use of the inherent workflow capabilities combined with your e-mail system helps expedite the review process by electronically routing key documents to managers.
Human Resource and benefits managers have ready access to retrieve images of signed documents, accident reports, employee handbooks, business policy manuals, and other related materials as well as individual employee documents which are linked to your Human Resources software.
ACCOUNTING & COMPLIANCE
Supplier information is accessed directly from your desktop allowing you to answer payment inquiries in real-time. Transaction turnaround is enhanced by eliminating the need to search for paper documents and time-consuming callbacks. Fax, print or e-mail supporting documents right from your desktop or mobile device.
Regulatory requirements are increasing the need to ensure the integrity and security of your institute’s financial records.

The audit features track and record all document actions and transactions, delivering the means to provide accurate documentation for use as proof of meeting regulatory requirements and compliance initiatives. Additionally, routine compliance audits of personnel expense records are handled quickly and efficiently. Once captured, missing or “orphaned” receipts are a thing of the past and no longer a problem in the day-to-day transactional business environment.

ADAPT TO THE DIGITAL NATIVE.
The difference between a scrambling student services representative and a well-informed responsive one is of vital importance to bottom-line results. With limited time to search filing cabinets for paper-based documents and the increased need to access electronically generated files such as grades, transcripts, emails, and attendance records, registrations of new students are more complex than ever and is an experience that happens three times a year.
Today’s students are digital natives. They arrive on campus with an expectation that the services they avail are seamless, efficient, and accessible on a mobile screen quickly and at any time. Ease of communication and interactivity of user experience, are features taken for granted. Enhance student interface and their learning experience with Docubase Education Suite as the document management backbone of your rapidly transforming digital campus.
BOOST OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY ACROSS DEPARTMENTS.
We know that the competition is fierce in recruiting new students, operating costs are rising at a record pace and government regulation continues to increase. In addition, you face major decreases in Government funding while the increased demand for student financial aid grows exponentially each year. To address these demands and set the course for continued growth, you need to maximize operating efficiencies within the various departments.
INTEGRATE THE UNDERLYING DMS ARCHITECTURE WITH YOUR EXISTING STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS.
Derived from the very popular DOCUBASE Enterprise product, the DOCUBASE Education Suite (DES) combines all the modules necessary for schools, colleges and universities to store and manage all types of documents including paper files, spreadsheets, audio, video, and virtually any electronically created file type, in volumes scalable to millions of documents monthly. Yet, the complexity of it all remains transparent to the end-user through tight integrations with your Student Information System.

Document management software can do incredible things for your institution, not just allowing you to cut out paper, but also giving you the opportunity to streamline your everyday processes so you save more time and money. Additional features like secure electronic forms, advanced OCR, eSignatures, mobile access, and automation tools, make this an all-in-one centerpiece for any business of any size, in any industry.
