A convenient digital storage system can be created for any school or university system. All educational systems have large recordkeeping needs. All departments from the professors to the individual students can be included in a digital databank. Imagine the mounds of paperwork needed during a students twelve to sixteen years of education. It can all be stored in one massive databank separated by department by using educational document scanning services.
Some considerations to any filing system are space and security. A document may be required in a month or never. But, when it must be found, it is usually for an important purpose. It is a waste of time to have to shuffle through dusty boxes of files or drawers full of alphabetized documents. Some paper documents can easily get lost.
As physical storage space becomes limited, it can require too much space to store even lightweight papers. When there is a good solution such as digital storage, it is negligent not to make use of the technology. Papers are scanned and stored in a databank which can accommodate endless amounts of documents in an orderly way.
Five years after graduation a student may need to confirm a grade from a long-ago class. The records in digital storage cannot be lost or altered in any way. An exam grade can be verified by a potential employer, or by the student himself. A professor cannot be forced to enter into a dispute over an A versus a B.
Each school system may have different needs and different ways they want their records filed. Digital files may be designated by name, year of graduation, ID number or social security number. Each department, the English department for example, can keep students both past and present in two separate files. Research and statistical recordkeeping is easy.
Student records are separated from faculty records. A search of a professor or teachers employment history is easy to pull up. Perhaps there have been numerous complaints that must be investigated. It will be easy to discover if the same student has a tendency to complain about all his teachers.
Good or bad information is all kept on each teacher including sexual harassment charges if they are filed. Professors are sometimes accused of having affairs with students. Evaluations become easier to make. Even the choice of a valedictorian will be ascertained more easily.
Perhaps most importantly, digital records cannot deteriorate and become illegible over time. Printed copies are made quickly. Such a scanning and storage service saves time, and as we know, time is money. The convenience alone is well worth the cost.
