Managing student records isn't easy, and when educational institutions rely on paper-based systems, the process is even more of a challenge. Fortunately, Square 9 Document Management Software gives administrators a way to clean up messy paper-based systems once and for all.
Here's why Square 9 Software's electronic document management strategy provides a much better way forward in 2018.
1. Reduce paper-related costs.
The costs associated with paper records are difficult to track, but a quick look at these paper-based systems leaves little doubt of the merits of going paperless with Square 9 Software.
- Printing and copying student records.
- Filing hard copies in paper file folders and binders.
- Storage solutions including filing cabinets, cardboard bankers boxes, shelving units, bookcases.
- Dedicated office space for file storage.
- Offsite storage facilities when on-site storage rooms reach capacity.
- Maintenance, repairs, and supplies for printers, multifunction systems, and fax machines.
2. Enhance document security.
The education system is necessarily document-intensive. And managing student records isn't just about efficiency; compliance regulations require robust security protocols to protect students' confidential information.
Square 9 Document Management software provides multi-layer solutions designed to allow authorized users access without compromising security.
- Sign-ins and user authentications to limit access based on need.
- Audit trails that log all actions by username and date.
- Secure mobile solutions for easy anytime/anywhere access.
3. Improved document retention procedures.
Managing document retention schedules can be a time-consuming process, and repeated manual data entry allows errors to sneak in and wreak havoc with your carefully-planned schedules. Square 9 Document Management Software lets system managers define retention schedules for specific document types just once. After that, documents are automatically purged on time and without further intervention.
