As recruitment costs spiral upward while colleges and universities face daily challenges to demonstrate their value, retaining students and assuring appropriate outcomes have never been more important. Degree audits are an essential tool in raising retention and student-success rates but are time-consuming and onerous when using most enterprise resources planning — ERP — or academic management systems. With CAMS® Enterprise academic ERP from Three Rivers Systems Inc., however, degree audits are built in and easily configured. “We’re demonstrating CAMS Enterprise Degree Audit functionality and offering a case study in which one of our clients set up a complex auditing program in a mere two days,” said Jami Morshed, Three Rivers Systems’ vice president of global sales and marketing. “That’s unheard of with other ERPs.” CAMS excels in this and all types of reporting because it is built on a secure, single shared Microsoft SQL database that serves all major departments and portals. So, all system-wide data is always available in real-time for any report. Thanks to CAMS Enterprise’s simplified yet “disruptive” In July 2011, U.S. Department of Education rules took effect requiring for-profit and not-for-profit career colleges, including community colleges, to show they are preparing students for “gainful employment.” Schools that fail these metrics may become ineligible for federal lending programs. While for-profit career colleges are the most affected, all higher-education institutions are taking notice. “Higher education in general is bracing for intense scrutiny, more reporting and greater attention to metrics related to successful student outcomes,” Morshed said. “Achieving maximum efficiency and productivity that helps deliver the ultimate student learning experience is every institution's goal.” According to Morshed, CAMS Enterprise Analytics, its sophisticated business-intelligence feature, empowers faculty, administrators, department heads and others to get the on-demand data they need in attractive easy-to-use dashboards that simplify and enhance the strategic decision-making process so necessary in today’s unforgiving environment of cost-consciousness and accountability. Colleges and universities around the world are saving hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in many other ways with CAMS Enterprise while their huge increases in productivity allow them to focus their resources on better serving students. CAMS Enterprise is uniquely capable of meeting the special requirements of online programs as well. Whether it’s having the flexibility to offer semesters, trimesters, serial or concurrent terms all with variable start and end dates, CAMS can be readily configured.
