Academy of Chinese Culture & Health Sciences Chooses EMPOWER Student Information System

GROSSE POINTE, Mich. - April 2, 2013 - PRLog -- BINGHAM FARMS, MI — With security being their number-one concern, administrators at the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences (ACCHS) recently chose EMPOWER Student Information System to manage institutional data.

“For any school, deciding on a student information system is no easy feat,” said Andres Bella, Executive Vice President of ACCHS. “We need to totally trust the people managing our information, and we need to trust that the company will stick with us every step of the way, like a partnership, from implementation to everyday operation.”

Bella said establishing professional rapport was essential, but EMPOWER’s reliability and security were just as important. The school chose EMPOWER’s SaaS (software as a service) version, which houses the data and application on a company-owned server that the client accesses via the Web using a secure display. “We needed to maximize our sense of security and service, and ultimately, we thought EMPOWER would provide the best of both,” said Bella.  

EMPOWER’s functionality provides support for recruitment, admissions, financial aid, records, and other institutional data and communications. With the SaaS version, subscribers like ACCHS can enjoy the system’s robust features without the financial burden of purchasing it outright. SaaS includes all updates, backups, hardware maintenance and other technical tasks, and provides secure, 24/7 online and remote access to the EMPOWER database.

“Information security is at the forefront of our concerns,” said EMPOWER President Robert Brender. “We have clients across the globe. Maintaining strong relationships with them is key, and in order to do that, we have to deliver uncompromised security. I’m pleased to have ACCHS join our family, and look forward to meeting their specific needs.”
