Web-Based Services Liberate Universities from Overwhelmed IT Departments
Universities are using RegOnline, an online registration service provider, to bypass swamped IT departments to run and manage everything from student housing to class registrations. RegOnline's system allows universities to set-up events quicker as well as build their own web pages and registration forms with no programming knowledge.
(PRWEB) December 8, 2004 -- Universities face the challenge of integrating every class, program, and database into their website for easy access and use. Often times IT departments get overwhelmed with backlogs that prevent departments from getting what they need when they need it. However, for the past few years universities have been able to side step backlogs by making use of web based applications such as RegOnline, an online registration system.
For example, with RegOnlines online registration service, universities can completely run and manage their events online. Current university clients use RegOnline to run their events, workshops, conferences, orientations, university housing, continuing education, and even class registrations. Within hours of learning RegOnlines system, universities can have their online forms up and running... compared to 6-18 months that it takes to develop through internal IT departments. The speed and ease of use of the web-based system comes from universities not having to build, install, or develop their own software. Instead, it allows for universities to build their own web pages and registration forms with no programming knowledge.
University employees are continually amazed at the speed and capabilities of RegOnlines online registration service. A seasoned user of RegOnlines system Courtney Deutsch, Alumni Program Coordinator from University of Dayton, had this to say, I couldnt imagine doing a large event without this service and support. The ease of the organization they provide and the time it saves me is priceless." Other universities that currently using RegOnlines speed and capabilities include: San Francisco State University, Columbia University, University of Utah, California State University, San Diego State University, University of Vermont, just to name a few.
In addition, university departments have been able to avoid bureaucracy relating to accepting credit card payments. Previously they had to go through an involved process with their bursars office and/or process transactions manually. Now, a provider like RegOnline will accept the credit card payments on their web-based system and then send a physical check directly to the department. By removing the hassles related to payment processing, a web-based system like RegOnline helps departments keep their focus on serving the students needs.
We are amazed by the breadth of uses universities have found for our online registration system. It is great to consistently hear from our university clients how RegOnline has made their lives and their students lives easier. For a department that is used to waiting a year or years for new technology, to be able to implement web-based technology on their own in a matter of weeks, is a liberating experience for them." said Bill Flagg, President of RegOnline.
