Customers that take advantage of this new alliance can optimize and leverage the significantly enhanced capabilities of the CampusVue® Financial Aid software system from Campus Management. In direct collaboration with Campus Management, EC Group will apply industry "best practices" and change management expertise to help institutions speed and improve service to students who rely on financial aid, while also exploring new concepts organizationally, such as centralizing the processing of aid from many locations to one. 

"For several years now, Campus Management's research and development investment in financial aid processing has been steep, and partnering with financial aid experts of EC Group's caliber can offer institutions an opportunity to gain competitive advantage and manage change in highly strategic ways. Colleges face regulation and consumer-level expectations," said Tim Gilbert, chief marketing officer at Campus Management. "Partnering with EC Group can help our clients confirm, retune or even totally re-envision their approach to financial aid management."

"In lock-step with Campus Management, EC Group can help an institution look twice, bottom-up and top-down, to plan and execute changes that will take the fullest possible advantage of the advanced features now available inside the CampusVue Financial Aid platform," said Robert Evans, president of EC Group.  "The improved operational efficiencies can resolve exceptions and errors more effectively, and deliver aid to students faster -- ultimately resulting in more favorable recruitment outcomes and better student services overall."
