Three Rivers Systems Degree Audit Features on Display at Centennial Meeting of College Registrars, Admissions Officers
Denver (PRWEB) March 28, 2014 -- As the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers 100th annual meeting kicks off in Denver this weekend at the Colorado Convention Center, recruitment, retention and student success continue to be top-of-mind priorities at member higher education institutions.
Slated for March 30 through April 4, the centennial meeting will address challenges that did not exist just a decade ago. According to AACRAO, today’s colleges and universities face opportunities and challenges from the growing presence of social media and its many uses in recruitment and retention, to the need to adapt quickly to rapidly evolving technology and innovation on campuses, coupled with the expanding global scale of higher education.
As recruitment costs spiral upward, colleges and universities also face daily challenges to demonstrate their value, making student retention and appropriate outcomes critically important.
Degree audits are an essential tool in raising retention and student-success rates but are time-consuming and onerous when using most enterprise resources planning — ERP — or academic management systems. With CAMS® Enterprise academic ERP from Three Rivers Systems Inc., however, degree audits are built in and easily configured.
“We’re demonstrating CAMS Enterprise Degree Audit functionality and offering a case study in which one of our clients set up a complex auditing program in a few days,” said Jami Morshed, Three Rivers Systems’ vice president of global sales and marketing.
CAMS excels at all types of reporting because it is built on a secure, single shared Microsoft SQL database that serves all major departments and portals. So, all system-wide data is always available in real-time for any report. Thanks to CAMS Enterprise’s simplified yet “disruptive” architecture institutions using CAMS enjoy quick and widespread adoption by students, faculty and staff.
“Higher education is bracing for intense scrutiny, more reporting and greater attention to metrics related to successful student outcomes,” Morshed said. “Achieving maximum efficiency and productivity that helps deliver the ultimate student learning experience is every institution's goal.”
According to Morshed, CAMS Enterprise Business Analytics, its sophisticated business-intelligence feature, empowers faculty, administrators, department heads and others to get the on-demand data they need in attractive easy-to-use dashboards that simplify and enhance the strategic decision-making process so necessary in today’s unforgiving environment of cost-consciousness and accountability.
Colleges and universities around the world are working more efficiently and effectively with CAMS Enterprise while their huge increases in productivity allow them to focus their resources on better serving students.
CAMS Enterprise is uniquely capable of meeting the special requirements of online programs as well. Whether it’s having the flexibility to offer semesters, trimesters, serial or concurrent terms all with variable start and end dates, CAMS can be readily configured. CAMS provides everything colleges and universities need to manage the entire student lifecycle, including recruitment; marketing; online applications; block-and-sequence registration; registration and payment; integrated financial aid; built-in degree audit; outcome tracking; built-in portals; mandated reports and much more, all integrated with medical applications.
