Laserfiche Introduces Business Process Automation Package for Colleges and Universities
At the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference today, Laserfiche
announced the availability of the higher
education package in the Laserfiche Business Process Library. The
Business Process Library is a collection of prebuilt processes that
provide the downloadable tools necessary for rapid business process
automation and deployment. Users can select desired processes from the
Business Process Library to download process diagrams, workflows,
template fields and reports, all of which can be configured to fit an
organization's specific requirements.
The higher education package offers key administrative functions
including application review, transcript processing, change of academic
major or minor, and diploma requests.
"Business process automation is central to colleges and universities
that value a modern information technology infrastructure," said Linda
Ding, Senior Education Program Strategist at Laserfiche. "Automation
enables organizations to control and analyze information and processes
to make strategic decisions. This package speeds automation deployment
so higher education institutions can achieve benefits faster and spend
more time on student services."
The higher education package comprises prebuilt process templates that
can be used campuswide. Key templates now available include:
-
Change of major/minor request
-
Course add/drop request
-
Diploma request
-
Faculty and staff position requisition
-
FERPA authorization
-
Transcript evaluation
-
Tuition payment agreement
Organizations can configure processes to fit their needs, whether that
means adding a mobile element, or changing how information is captured
or who approves it. At the end of each process, submitted documents are
archived in accordance with a retention schedule based on compliance
requirements.
Texas A&M University System, one of the largest systems of higher
education in the nation, uses Laserfiche to automate processes across 11
universities, seven state agencies and a comprehensive health science
center. A&M System implemented Laserfiche as a shared service to
minimize support and maintenance costs while leveraging shared
knowledge, facilitating collaboration, supporting compliance and
enhancing overall efficiency.
"While IT is usually seen as a spender of money, dollars invested in
information technology can have a positive return on investment," said
Chris Huff, Network Systems Administrator at Texas A&M University's
College of Engineering. "By reengineering our onboarding process, we
saved about 45 minutes per new hire. This allows our employees to invest
the time saved into other job duties."
Along with Huff, Texas A&M University's Judith Lewis, Senior Information
Technology Manager, and Emily Weers, Associate Director of Accounting
and Travel Services, will join Ding for an EDUCAUSE Annual Conference
breakout session Oct. 26 at 3:40 p.m. The speakers will discuss how to
plan and deploy an enterprise system, measure progress and impact of
process automation projects and best practices for communication,
collaboration and training across campus.
The Business
Process Library is available as part of Laserfiche
10, the latest enterprise content management offering from
Laserfiche. In addition to the Business Process Library, Laserfiche 10
includes embedded analytics and performance dashboards that give
colleges and universities insight into workloads and staff performance.
