TopSchool Advances Student Lifecycle Management System for Improved Flexibility and Simplicity
New User Interface and Flexible Term Structure Enable Institutions to Be More Responsive to Market Opportunities
Denver, CO - June 11, 2009 - TopSchool, a
leading SaaS provider of administrative solutions optimized for
small to mid-size higher education institutions, has released new
functionality for its Student Lifecycle Management (SLM) system,
making it easier for institutions to deliver new programs and
manage information. The advancements provide the flexibility and
simplicity to efficiently launch programs to meet market demands -
whatever the delivery mode, program length or price.
"We are continuously evolving our system to provide
student-centric institutions with the tools they need to be more
responsive in meeting regulatory, competitive and student demands,"
said Matthew Schnittman, president and CEO of TopSchool. "Through
increased flexibility and simplicity, we are building upon our
commitment to give institutions the power to direct their own
administrative tools so they can best serve their students."
TopSchool's new flexible term structure makes it easier for
institutions, regardless if they have traditional terms or non-term
models, to launch programs quickly to meet and stay ahead of
emerging market trends. This high level of flexibility also makes
it easier than ever for institutions to stay in compliance with
accreditation, handle revenue recognition for varying terms, and
implement financial aid packaging faster. For example, a
non-traditional school can immediately start a cohort of students
at any given time and establish that term as the qualifying start
term to meet financial aid requirements.
Additionally, TopSchool's new user interface is designed to
enhance efficiency. The intuitive, easy-to-use interface provides
users with improved system performance, enhanced search
capabilities to make it easier to work with large sets of data, and
simplified navigation with less scrolling and fewer clicks per
screen. For example, the system will generate and automatically
post task lists for admissions representatives to view immediately
upon login and easily customize as necessary.
TopSchool's next generation SLM system manages data and
information from the time an institution first talks to a prospect
through the student's application, enrollment, academic career, job
placement and alumni status. Delivered in a Software-as-a-Service
model, TopSchool provides the portal for prospective students to
learn about a particular program, the CRM to manage prospects
through admission, and the student information system to track and
manage students through program completion.
