Universities are huge, complex organizations with multiple administrative layers. Each student and professor generate real and virtual paper work. Every action a student takes, from class registration to graduation continues to generate more documents. In short, every action has a reaction of document generation. The schools are overburdened with this data overload. The solution that is working for many schools is the university cloud document management system.
With effective cloud storage, documents can be stored, retrieved, completed, stored again and retrieved as necessary by authorized users. Many processes are completed without the university ever having to print any paper. Electronic files are stored based on naming protocols and saving protocols so that files are retrievable through the web portal associated with the university.
Secure online management of administrative processes allows multiple users access to files. The majority of the digital files will be in portable document format, PDF, a format that is compatible with any computer system and readable by all authorized users. Sometimes the digital files are stationary and cannot be edited, while others are designed to be edited.
Added to the traditional work flow of universities is the move towards online education. Each class needs its own web portal for the students and teachers to access homework assignments, eBooks and communications. Every action has a reaction of paperless documents.
Adobe, one of the driving forces behind a universal way of saving and reading documents, has further developed online cloud based application software. One of the features is that users are able to electronically sign files. This is another cost savings for schools and students. This one feature facilitates the completion and progress of tasks.
The cloud is a secure way to process, store and retrieve virtual paperwork. With millions of hard copy paper documents, the school needs to convert these to digital in a manner that allows retrieval as needed. The companies that manage these systems can complete this work for the school. Electronic documents stored in this manner are more secure than paper copies in unlocked file drawers.
A wonderful, high tech function is intelligent data capture. This function allows the school to extract data points from digital files and appropriately incorporate the data into their enterprise system to use as needed. File storage is crucial to the success of the system. The minimum for back up redundancies is three, but there will typically be more back ups. If one or two back ups are lost, a crisis is averted because other copies exist. Even if you do not understand the cloud, you are using it.
