2 min read
LONG BEACH, CA—November 6, 2012—Laserfiche (booth #521) today announced that The Texas A&M University System, one of the largest systems of higher education in the United States, has expanded its Laserfiche enterprise content management (ECM) installation to offer Laserfiche as a shared service. University system members that opt to use the shared service help the university system as a whole reduce costs by consolidating IT functions from multiple system members to one location.
Today, 1,200 employees across the A&M System benefit from Laserfiche. That number will soon expand to 3,600. According to Judith Lewis, Senior IT Manager of the IT Solutions and Support group at Texas A&M University, “By providing this feature-rich Laserfiche implementation at an affordable price point, Texas A&M is able to make available economies of scale and document sharing that individual departments could not approach by themselves. This is value delivery at its best.”
Offering Laserfiche as a centrally supported, enterprise-level document management system allows Texas A&M and the A&M System to:
- Save costs through shared central support and by eliminating the need for individual departments to maintain their own systems.
- Facilitate document sharing with colleagues while protecting confidential information.
- Enhance overall office efficiency by eliminating paper-based processes, improving information accessibility and decreasing the need to store paper documents.
- Ensure continuity of operations by securing records and providing Web access to critical documents during emergencies.
- Streamline life-cycle management of business records with automatic enforcement of consistent, organization-wide records policies.
- Support compliance requirements for document retention.
The A&M System is comprised of 11 universities, seven state agencies and a comprehensive health science center. All work together to provide educational programs, outreach and community enhancement services as well as research to improve the lives of people in Texas and beyond. A&M System members educate more than 120,000 students each year.
Lewis and Robert Hensz, Risk and Compliance Office Program Manager, Texas A&M AgriLife, will co-present an educational session titled “Scaling a Higher Education Enterprise Electronic Content Management (ECM) System” on Friday, November 9, at 8:00 am in Mile High Ballroom 2B/3B during the EDUCAUSE 2012 Annual Conference.
