FolderWave Selected by AIIM as 2009 Best Practices Finalist for Work at Boston College
FolderWave recognized for excellence in the field of enterprise content management (ECM)
Westford, MA (PRWEB) May 12, 2009
FolderWave has been selected as a finalist for the Carl E. Nelson Best Practices Award for its work with Boston College and DataBank IMX. The award recognizes excellence that has been achieved within an organization and refers to a process that can be quantified, adapted, and repeated in the enterprise content management (ECM) field.
The Best Practices Award was established by AIIM to recognize excellence in the enterprise content management (ECM) field and provides an exciting and unique way for end-user organizations to share their ECM project implementations with their peers and for ECM solution providers to showcase the ROI that their solutions can achieve.
Boston College initially implemented FolderWave's system to support the tracking, processing and verification of information for the Financial Aid Department. Through streamlined processes and innovative technology, Boston College Financial Aid counselors can focus on the verification and awarding process.
With several years of operating experience, FolderWave's products and services have shown that they clearly improve the financial aid process, shorten the time and improve communication, resulting in better service to the applicants and their families.
Following the success of the Financial Aid application, BC has implemented the FolderWave Admissions and On-line application modules in their Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions areas, along with FolderWave's Transcripts and Development Office modules.
"This is exciting for us at Boston College. To be a finalist among elite competition speaks volumes for the innovation provided by our partners in FolderWave and Databank IMX, but also is a win for the BC project team that has worked hard to make this technology and culture change a reality. The benefits have been tremendous," said Rita Owens, Executive Director of Academic Technology at Boston College.
"Once again, the quality of the submissions for the Carl E. Nelson Best Practice Award continues to improve raising the bar on best practices," said John Mancini, President, AIIM. "Our AIIM Emerging Technology Advisory Group (EmTAG), assisted by several of the 2008 award recipients, evaluated and selected the finalists in each category for the Best Practices."
"FolderWave is extremely proud of the work we have done with BC and Databank IMX," said Robert Burke, FolderWave President."It has been an excellent collaboration and has demonstrated how major change and new levels of effectiveness and efficiency can be achieved with a foundation of technology. Most important, the people at all 3 organizations have made this a success. We are honored to be a finalist. "
