CLEVELAND, Feb. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- More students than ever are applying to colleges and universities. Getting them in the door is only one of the important steps. It's also about identifying the right students, enrolling them and keeping them through graduation. Institutions are looking to software like enterprise content management (ECM) to help make it happen. It electronically manages paper-based content – transcripts, recommendation letters – and synchronizes it with other applications, like student information systems, creating better student records and interactions. Three more higher education institutions recently selected the OnBase ECM software suite because it's proven to do these very things.

"Yes, ECM helps to manage the vast quantity of information that colleges and universities handle daily," said Ian Levine, manager of higher education for Hyland Software. "But in order to admit and then retain those students, the availability and quality of it matters just as much. When a student or parent calls, they don't want to be put on hold because the student's file is on someone else's desk. They want helpful, accurate information fast. ECM has been addressing this issue for years. Now, with so much competition for the best students, it's perhaps more relevant than ever."

Here are three recent higher education institutions that chose OnBase:

The Johns Hopkins University – Baltimore, Md.

With nine academic divisions and campuses throughout the Baltimore-Washington area, Johns Hopkins is a world leader in both teaching and research.

Oberlin College – Oberlin, Ohio

Founded in 1833 on the motto "Learning and Labor," Oberlin College is a private liberal arts college that today enrolls nearly 3,000 students.

University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School of Business – Philadelphia, Pa.

Noted as being the world's first collegiate business school, the Wharton School of Business was established in 1881. It currently serves more than 4,900 undergraduate, MBA, executive MBA, and doctoral students.
