Invu address record management issues for the education sector

We’ve had a positive response from the education sector recently with 25 colleges, academies or universities in the last 3 months expressing an interest in the Invu document management software. The education sector have specific needs, all of which Invu can address.

• The education sector need to address compliance for records retention from both national and European legislation
• Colleges and Universities often have disparate back office business systems that require a central accessible records repository
• Educational establishments traditionally have a huge variety of documents that need storing including student records, examination certificates, landlord certificates, lettings contracts and personal identification documentation.
• HR and Finance departments are also strategic areas of activity with many managing in the region of 1000 members of staff and operating multi million pound budgets. These areas too need to standardize document retention

Over 60 educational establishments are already seeing the benefits of Invu, one of which is Headlands School in Bridlington. Lorraine Baker, Business Manager commented “We have linked Invu to our internal CMIS Database and the results have been brilliant”
