Grayson College Picks New Enterprise Resource Planning System
Grayson
College in Denison, TX, has selected a new enterprise
resource planning software in an effort to improve academic
success
for its 5,000 students and provide more accountability in its financial systems.
The community college in North Texas, which offers
associate's
degrees and certificates in more than 60 areas of study, picked St.
Louis-based Three Rivers
Systems' CAMS Enterprise system.
Grayson College President Jeremy McMillen said the
new system
would allow the college to improve every facet of its academic
management
system — from admissions, registration and billing to financial aid,
student
services, fundraising, human resources and payroll.
"It will help us automate manual processes in our
continuing
education and foundation areas so that we can be more effective in our
workforce development and fundraising efforts, in particular," McMillen
said.
"Its integration with the financial accounting system will enable us to
be good
stewards of our resources."
Amir Tajkarimi, founder and president of Three Rivers
Systems,
said the selection of his company's software is a reflection of the
college's
interest in the wellbeing of its students.
"It's clear that everybody at Grayson College is
passionate
about helping its students to succeed and to support the North Texas
community,"
Tajkarimi said. "We're proud to play a role in its future success."
