ABSTRACT:
Each year, Arizona State University enrolls nearly 50,000 students from throughout the U.S. and from more than 120 countries. With more than 18,000 applications pouring into ASU's graduate admissions office along with supporting documents, the Graduate College's admissions staff faces the tough task of managing thousands of pages of paperwork required to process applications for review by university faculty prior to matriculation.
Working with Scottsdale, Ariz. reseller Binary Office, ASU expanded and enhanced its Cardiff TELEform™ forms processing application with VRS document image-perfecting technology from Kofax. VRS was especially helpful processing myriad supporting documents because it is able to scan mixed document types without manual sorting. It automatically crops, straightens and adjusts exposure for each student application document without impairing scanner performance.
By employing VRS, the ASU graduate admissions staff has slashed the time required to capture handwritten data and other fields from the core admissions form from 10 minutes to less than one minute, compared to the previous manual keying process. ASU can now reply to applicants faster, certify student credentials within a day of receipt, minimize lost files and documents and recover the space it gained upon removing now-obsolete filing cabinets. ASU also will save money by reducing the need for data entry clerks and redistributing the saved time and labor to other necessary projects.
