Nolij Tapped as Hobsons Choice Partner for Document Imaging and Integration
Hobsons & Nolij to provide Web-based document imaging & data integration for colleges and universities
CINCINNATI, November 14, 2006—Hobsons has a new addition to its Hobsons Choice Partnership program—Nolij Corporation, a leading provider of document imaging and data integration. Nolij will become the Hobsons-endorsed resource for colleges and universities that need to integrate crucial data from prospective students into their enrollment systems.
Hobsons has selected Nolij as the preferred vendor in this category because the company’s products vastly improve clients' ability to find, capture, and input information about prospective college candidates, while increasing their ability to share this information with other systems the school uses for recruitment purposes.
"Because institutions receive prospect records in a variety of ways, there is a continual need to integrate technology-based responses with student information gained through traditional print materials," said Craig Heldman, president of Hobsons U.S. "Partnering with Nolij in the document imaging and data integration categories gives our clients the solutions they need to increase productivity and free up resources to focus on their own goals and objectives."
Nolij's products are the only Web-based document management solutions and data integration modules built solely for higher education—addressing the unique challenges and complexities that Hobsons' client institutions face.
"Our use of Nolij's Web Document Imaging and Transfer clients has allowed Kennesaw State University to capture data on students in a simple, high-tech format that integrates seamlessly with our systems," said Joe Head, Dean of University Admissions and Enrollment at Kennesaw State University. "Hobsons' partnership with Nolij continues to elevate the admissions and enrollment process... this partnership places our school and other Hobsons clients out in front of other colleges and universities."
Nolij Web Document Imaging system funnels information about prospective students seamlessly into universities' existing information systems, providing a consistent, high-quality user experience. Web Document Imaging allows colleges and universities to scan, view, and manage documents, organize and read printed materials, and formulate a database for use across all information management platforms. From paper documents and e-mails to Web content and multimedia files, Web Document Imaging streamlines all information into electronic folders for easy use and organization.
"Document Imaging has expedited our processing and turnaround time significantly. We can archive, index, track and retrieve credentials within 24 hours," said Head. "Multiple staff have access to digital images simultaneously and can accelerate production, decisions and communications in half the time. We are no longer stressed with chasing paper, searching for files and working overtime to manage hardcopy volume."
Hobsons will also offer Nolij's data integration product, Nolij Transfer, which provides enhanced data integration between student information systems and other electronic data sources. Nolij's easy data integration enhances enrollment efforts by allowing universities to quickly retrieve data stored in their enrollment systems for use in virtually any other electronic system, including enrollment, recruitment and communication management programs like EMT Connect. Transfer bridges Hobsons' EMT Connect and clients' existing student information systems seamlessly, making it easy to manage both the enrollment process and continuous communication efforts.
The Hobsons Choice Partnership Program is a network of companies and organizations that have offerings that complement Hobsons' recruitment and technology solutions. The program expands the services available to Hobsons' client base of more than 1,000 institutions. Institutions interested in Hobsons' Web-based document imaging or data integration services available through Nolij may contact Sasha Peterson, EMT National Director of Sales & Client Development, at (800) 927-8439, ext. 4179.
