In 2000 laws were passed in the UK requiring every University to keep a "transcript" for each student on file for at least seven years. With ten thousand or more students attending a single University, this presents a daunting information management challenge.
And despite advances in technology, the majority of student information still starts life in paper form. These records contain every piece of student information from personal information as well as courses studied, modules taken and academic results.
Formic’s Fusion software is used by colleges and universities to capture and electronically store information from paper documents. These include student enrolment forms, students’ assessment of courses they have attended and even multiple choice exams papers. Forward-thinking establishments are even employing Fusion’s Web Forms module to convert existing form designs to their electronic equivalent, providing a fast, efficient means of capturing student information before transferring it to record management systems.
And because Fusion’s design module is so easy to use, academic establishments become competent quickly and put Fusion to an increasing number uses. The high volumes of forms and documents processed by Fusion enable it to pay back the initial investment in a matter of weeks.
