The Efficiency Learning Curve

 

In the education industry, the efficiency learning curve is a term that refers to the idea that as you progress through your career in higher education, there will be an increase in responsibility and documents for management. Efficiency Learning Curve was coined by Daniel Coyle, author of The Talent Code: Greatness Isn't Born. It's Grown. Here's How.

Documents are constantly being generated and must be handled and filed in an appropriate manner. The following are some of the most frequent education papers:

Forms for applying to colleges and universities

Fill out the necessary forms for financial assistance.

Records of students

Employee performance records

Many educational institutions are concerned with network security and student safety. This is especially vital for the security of student records and other papers containing sensitive information that enter an educational institution. Paper-based storage is prone to theft—anyone can go into a filing cabinet, and it's tough to keep track of who has looked at certain. The lack of a document management system introduces security risks in and of itself, as well.

How many papers do you send through your school or university every day? That is unquestionably the case. Some of these are sent to us in paper form and get filed away in cabinets. Documents that start life as e-mails might go on to be left in odd places. As a result, finding the appropriate document becomes time-consuming for school and university employees.

The problem is made worse by the fact that schools and institutions are being pressured to accomplish more with less all the time. (Throughout the world, there are fewer employees and less money.) But how can a small crew deal with papers that are being generated at an exponential rate compared to the previous? It's quite tough without an electronic document management system.

Document Management Systems can assist your organization in meeting the daunting task of managing ever-increasing documents with less manpower.
