The University has doubled its enrollment in the past seven years and has expanded the number of programs and degrees offered, contributing to heightened demands on the institution's student information systems. Southeastern chose to expand its decade-long relationship with the Jenzabar companies after a thorough evaluation of the currently available ERP systems for higher education. A task force assembled from stakeholders across the Southeastern campus determined that Jenzabar's EX solution was the best fit for the University's immediate and future needs. Providing students with 24x7 access to their personal information, improving the quality of Web-based services to all its constituents and creating opportunities for new and enhanced services are three goals that Southeastern University looks to attain as a result of this decision.

"This was a 'ground up' decision driven by those who actually use the system," stated Ken Faneuff, Southeastern University's Director of Information Technology. "Our recommendation noted that we expect to realize significant departmental efficiencies campus-wide, and the move into a Windows(R) environment will make our administrative system more user-friendly. We were comfortable with Jenzabar as a company, and we were impressed with the reporting and communications tools that Jenzabar EX brings. Jenzabar EX will provide a good foundation for our continuing growth, beyond serving an increasing number of students, to providing them with more and better quality services," he added.

Helping client institutions improve the delivery of services and information to their constituents is the premise behind all Jenzabar offerings, and the ability to easily access comprehensive, real-time information is primary to the Jenzabar EX solution. Jenzabar EX stores all administrative information in a single integrated database, eliminating the need to enter data more than once--and eliminating the concern that administrators may be using outdated or incomplete information. Jenzabar EX helps institutions manage data through the entire student lifecycle, from Admissions and Registration through Financial Aid, Student Life, and Advising to Alumni Development.
