School districts across the country are going digital to better manage
time-consuming administrative processes such as student enrollment,
payroll and data storage – and in turn, are saving money and time. Xerox
Corporation’s DocuShare®
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Platform has helped schools with student
registration, paper-based processes and security issues:
-
With 21 schools and 15,485 students, Walled
Lake Consolidated School District in Michigan uses DocuShare
to simplify the student registration process. Together with partner
SRC Solutions, Inc., Walled Lake implemented Registration
Gateway, an online enrollment system built on DocuShare. The
district reports data entry accuracy has improved by 90 percent in
just six months during its trial period.
Improvements in staff productivity, made possible with the solution,
helped Walled Lake meet state data reporting requirements – and in
return, receive much-needed funding. This year, Registration Gateway
will be used to register thousands of students within the district.

Kawartha
Pine Ridge School Board in Ontario, Canada relies on DocuShare
to automate paper-based processes including payroll records, student
registration forms and teaching manuals. For example, the district has
reduced the manual, three-day processing of its monthly cell phone
bills down to one step with DocuShare – which quickly scans more than
380 bills and distributes them accordingly. The school board also uses
DocuShare to securely share and update information for its 33,000
students and 3,500 employees.

After a fire destroyed the administrative building of the Upper
Merion Area School District in Pennsylvania, the board
contracted SRC Solutions to scan and organize more than a
million documents into DocuShare – securing essential data while
eliminating the need for external storage facilities.
