University of Surrey Deploys Electronic Document Management Solution

Press Release - 11 May 2009

Faculty of Management & Law deploys ITESOFT.Share for electronic archiving of student forms

The University of Surrey is a global university with a world-class research profile and an enterprising spirit.  The University provides a distinctive blend of academic knowledge, professional insight, and can-do confidence to those studying and working there.  The Faculty of Management and Law will be the flagship department to deploy ITESOFT.Share, from ITESOFT, the leading developer of automated document capture, processing and management software solutions.  The Faculty combines the expertise of the School of Management and the School of Law.  It provides internationally recognised undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in the specialist fields of hospitality, food, tourism, retail, marketing and health care management, a well regarded Master of Business Administration (MBA) and a variety of degree programmes across a broader range of business and management disciplines. The School also offers doctoral research degree programmes, Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) and PhDs.

The Faculty will use ITESOFT.Share to store thousands of student forms.  ITESOFT.Share is an electronic document management and distribution platform for organisations that wish to give their employees and partners access to a unique and secure document reference library.  The Faculty provides a range of support services for the students and as a result paperwork such as exam results, assignment forms, documents relating to appeals and much more are generated.  The student documentation will be scanned and captured as electronic images and will then be stored in ITESOFT.Share.  ITESOFT.Share also enables the electronic distribution and circulation of these images.  Student Services staff can then easily track the forms, assisting query resolution and speeding up the search and retrieval process.  The Faculty is migrating from Acorde to ITESOFT.Share.

The Faculty will also deploy, in the coming months, ITESOFT.FreeMind for Business, a solution that will automate the processing of all incoming business documents.  This will improve the quality of the student services by automating manual functions and processes.  Additionally the Faculty are planning to make use of the ITESOFT.Share workflow module in the next phase of the project to speed up the form approval process.

Alex Tamerlane, Systems Administrator for the Faculty of Management and Law said, ‘We chose ITESOFT as they have a robust and flexible solution that will meet our current and future requirements.  ITESOFT have worked closely with us to understand our business objectives.’
