Higher Education

Meeting Critical Cost Reduction Initiatives and Improving Student
Services

In today’s increasingly competitive environment, higher education

organizations must maintain enrollments and reduce operating

costs to compensate for rising facilities expenses – all while

maintaining high academic standards.

Higher educational institutions are challenged to capture and

process information trapped on hundreds of paper-based form types

that are completed and submitted by a diverse and widely distributed

user community. Characterized by duplicative processes and

department-specific custom applications, universities and colleges

struggle to improve service to students, faculty and staff.

Many learning institutions are turning to Formatta to automate traditional data-driven
transactions to reduce significant costs associated with paper forms, but more importantly –
provide the access to intelligent data quickly for improving response times.

As a software innovator within Higher Education, Formatta’s Business
Process Optimization solutions encompasses both electronic and
paper-based forms. With Formatta, Universities can move forms efficiently
and securely without the need for any physical movement of paper.
