Pacific U Automates Admissions, Financial Aid and Student Accounts

Oregon’s Pacific University is the latest institution to roll out Etrieve from Softdocs. The enterprise content management, e-forms and process automation platform allows the university to modernize its business operations, starting with its admissions, student records and financial aid departments.

“We required a multi-faceted solution that could address our specific needs including minimizing paper records, improving student and employee service via electronic forms and increasing overall business process efficiencies,” said Jim Fleming, CIO of Pacific, in a prepared statement. “We joined forces with Softdocs based on their deep understanding of the education market and their innovative and scalable, browser-based solution that could accommodate our roll-out schedule.”

With Etrieve Forms and Flow, the university can automate manual paper-based processes and students and employees can access, track and complete e-forms from any device. The university will utilize Etrieve Content, a  browser-based content management system, to store and organize documents in a single location. 

Further information is available on the Softdocs site.
