TopSchool Unveils TopSchool SLM 2.0
Denver, CO - June 25, 2008 - TopSchool, the
first SaaS provider of administrative solutions optimized for small
to mid-size higher education institutions, has announced the
availability of the TopSchool SLM 2.0, an innovative, easy-to-use
and affordable Student Lifecycle Management (SLM) system.
Facing increased competition, regulation and demand from
students for new programs and learning models, today's higher
education institutions must have the flexibility to address all of
these issues. To make changes effectively, institutions need
key data to inform and support their decisions. The
TopSchool SLM system provides a single system to collect
information beginning with prospects, and moving through their
entire institutional experience. This systematic approach allows
the institution to determine key variables, such as what type of
student should they look for, who is successful at their
institution, how do they provide the proper learning environment
for their students, how do they best retain students, and more.
"TopSchool was created to provide an easy-to-use, flexible
solution that institutions could start using immediately," said
Matthew Schnittman, President and CEO of TopSchool. "Over the
last nine years, I have heard countless college and university
leaders lament the lack of accessible data - we have an affordable
solution for their problems. Moving from a static student
information system to a more comprehensive SLM system will provide
a more responsive solution."
TopSchool SLM 2.0 provides rapid startup and continuous software
updates through its software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery
model. This is made possible because all clients are
using the same version of the software, with the ability to create
customizations to their particular instance. Additionally,
since TopSchool was created using the latest Microsoft
technologies, the ability to integrate third party systems is
simple and encouraged to map to the institution's business
process.
"TopSchool SLM 2.0 should change the way that colleges and
universities view student information systems, and how they make
their purchasing decisions," said Tony Digiovanni, member of the
board of directors for TopSchool. "With this solution, there
is no software to install, no long and costly implementations and
no upgrade fees. It just makes good competitive sense in the
rapidly changing world of education."
