Electronic Records Management for Education

The Education sector faces a number of challenges which have been brought about by the vast amount of paper documents and emails that are handled on a daily basis.

Student records have to be stored and managed for many years even after the person has left the school or college. Not only is storage space an issue but also the security of the records and the lack of safeguards usually in place to protect them from fire and flood.

In addition to student records, there are also large numbers of staff records and finance paperwork such as purchase orders and supplier invoices which have to be retained for long periods of time. Paper based systems are time consuming, expensive and inefficient and are difficult to manage in accordance with the Records Management Society specifications.

The IPC Group has many years experience in the development and delivery of electronic records and document management solutions and has a strong understanding of the difficulties faced by and the requirements of the education sector. M.Store for Education is an electronic document management system which has been developed specifically for the education sector and will give any organisation immediate benefits such as:

• Security – safeguards records from fire or flood
• Compliance – automatically manages document retention and provides full audit trails
• Integrates with existing systems – will link to a pupil management system such as SIMS
