Document Management
Berklee HR Goes Paperless
2/28/2007
Berklee College of Music recently announced its decision to implement ImageNow, an electronic documentation management system, to help its shift to a paperless office. The Human Resource Department at Berklee has put into operation ImageNow from Perspective software to work with its already installed enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.“Perceptive Software’s proven success with higher education implementations that involve Datatel Colleague integration was a decisive factor,” said Marian Sales, process and documentation specialist at Berklee, in a prepared statement.
The ImageNow software is designed to allow users access to supporting documents from the host application screen, and retrieve these documents without using a search engine. Users can also access information from any location using WebNow, an additional feature to the ImageNow program.
Berklee College of Music is a private institution with 3,800 students located in Boston, MA.
