Regent Partners with TopSchool
Frederick, MD - July 24, 2008 - Regent
Education, the leading provider of financial aid management
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions for higher education
institutions, today announced that it has formed a partnership with
TopSchool, Inc. TopSchool is a leading SaaS provider of next
generation administrative solutions optimized for small to mid-size
higher education institutions.
TopSchool provides educational institutions with a seamless,
extensible, easy-to-manage and economical student lifecycle
management (SLM) solution. TopSchool's SLM consists of a student
information system (SIS) at its core, integrated with a customer
relationship management system (CRM), student and faculty portal,
reporting suite, and support services. Through the partnership,
Regent Enterprise will be fully integrated into TopSchool's SLM as
the financial aid module, enabling institutions to more efficiently
manage the financial aid process.
"TopSchool's mission is to help institutions drive insights and
decisions across the student lifecycle by providing industry
leading technologies and support services," said Matthew
Schnittman, TopSchool's president and CEO. "With
complementary delivery models, our partnership with Regent further
supports our goal to provide institutions with state-of-the-art
solutions to more effectively serve their students and manage their
operations."
Regent Enterprise will provide TopSchool clients with an easy to
implement, turnkey solution that will revolutionize the way
institutions process financial aid, giving them innovative,
intuitive tools to automate and manage every aspect of the
financial aid lifecycle. Because the solution is on demand,
the financial aid office will always be up-to-date and remain
compliant with the real time delivery of the latest federal and
state regulations. Regent Enterprise helps institutions
standardize and centralize the management of financial aid,
resulting in increased productivity, ensured compliance, and
controlled costs.
TopSchool SLM is delivered in a SaaS subscription model,
enabling institutions to save up to 50% on costs related to
SIS. Top School's approach represents a significant departure
from traditional SIS vendors and focuses on providing rapid
start-up and continuous software updates, leveraging its highly
flexible, industry-specific SaaS platform to address institutions'
needs. The merging of these leading technology solutions will
enable TopSchool and Regent to ensure their customers realize a
high return on investment while increasing efficiencies and
customer service.
"Regent's partnership with TopSchool represents the market
demand for on demand solutions," said Michael Ratti, Regent's
CEO. "TopSchool's SLM combined with Regent Enterprise will
provide institutions with a power house solution that will allow
them to easily and effectively manage information in a way they've
never been able to do before."
