Jenzabar’s Internet Campus Solution Plugs Into
The University of St. Augustine
Web Portal Will Facilitate Growth, Interaction and Efficiency
Cambridge, MA — August 29, 2005 — Jenzabar, Inc., the pioneer of Total Campus Management (TCM) solutions for higher education, today announced that the University of St. Augustine selected Jenzabar’s Internet Campus Solution (JICS) to provide Web-based services to its growing student population. As one of the largest physical and occupational therapy schools in the United States, the University of St. Augustine is experiencing significant growth, particularly in its distance education programs. The implementation of JICS will not only facilitate the delivery of distance education programs but also will provide on-campus students and faculty with access to relevant information and improve many of the University’s administrative processes. Jenzabar’s Internet Campus Solution also will extend the value of the Jenzabar EX ERP system, which the University has been using since 1998.
“We have always been impressed with the Jenzabar ERP product so it was natural for us to go with the Internet product,” said Dr. Cindy Mathena, Director of Online Education for the University of St. Augustine. “Jenzabar’s Internet Campus Solution provides the features and functionality that match up with the University’s current and future needs, and our staff saw the value of the system in bringing greater efficiency to our internal processes. We see JICS as the way to strengthen our distance education programs and provide self-service capabilities to our faculty and students, while streamlining many administrative tasks, such as registration and reporting grades.”
Jenzabar’s Internet Campus Solution provides a seamless interface to all facets of student life from admission through graduation, tightly integrating academic requirements, resources, schedules and achievements for every constituent. JICS provides constituents inside and outside the institution with the information they need, when they need it. It unifies the user interface and point-of-entry for institution-wide applications and content, along with customizable views of department-specific, group-specific, and personalized information based on each user’s defined role(s). Among the many benefits delivered to the institution, JICS facilitates a continuous flow of mission-critical information between departments and allows staff to spend less time acquiring data, reducing duplication and avoiding data inconsistencies.
“We are also adding Jenzabar’s Candidate Constituent Relationship Module (CRM), which is very timely,” continued Dr. Mathena. “Our success in recruiting has mandated a more efficient and organized process for handling a larger number of candidates. We also want to make prospective students more of a participant in the process, which is particularly important in distance education where the relationship is completely online,” she added.
Jenzabar’s CRMs provide tight integration between the front-end portal and the administrative data and business logic. To best fulfill the relationship-building requirements of higher education, the modules are organized by key constituent groups.
“Jenzabar’s Internet Campus Solution and our Candidate Constituent Relationship Module are outstanding tools for institutions seeking to improve their recruiting process,” said Robert A. Maginn, Chairman and CEO of Jenzabar, Inc. “The University of St. Augustine has recognized this, and we are pleased to support the University’s growth with these products. St. Augustine also has recognized the value of a portal integrated with an ERP system that provides considerable process efficiencies across the institution, and establishes a Total Campus Management framework for the University.”
Jenzabar’s Total Campus Management (TCM) framework meets the unique business needs of higher education with a comprehensive approach to software and services, from a front-end campus portal to fully integrated, functionally-rich enterprise systems. Each custom-tailored TCM solution is built from Jenzabar’s integrated ERP, campus intelligence, Internet portal, and constituent relationship modules.
