On-Base Scanner



Initiative TitleOn-Base Scanner
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, RationaleSUNY Orange has implemented OnBase, Document Imaging Solution (Highland Software), to better manage documents and processes – ultimately cutting out time-consuming, manual tasks. Admissions, Financial Aid, Registration and the Bursar Office are currently invested in utilizing OnBase. OnBase not only allows us to reduce the amount of paper being handled and used by each area (sustainability) but helps departments to review information and make decisions more quickly for our current and prospective students. The Bursar Office currently scans documents on a limited basis since we must share/schedule time in other offices to access a scanner. A scanner would enable the staff to quickly scan residence applications, change of information documents, etc. Documents would then be available in a secure environment easliy accessible by staff at the Middletown and Newburgh offices.
Consequences of this initiative not being fundedWithout a scanner , time will be spent filing, searching, storing ,securing, and destroying student information of a sensitive nature in file cabinets. Information will not be readily available at both campuses delaying response time to students.

Institutional Goals

Goal How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
Document imaging has already significantly reduced the amount of paper generated in the offices that currently scan documents. In addition, the system also: - Reduces paper storage space requirements - Saves copying costs by allowing multiple users to simultaneous access to same document - Reduces need for paper files
Enhancements to this system will continue to bring the Middletown and Newburgh campuses closer together with the immediate sharing of student information to all student services staff, regardless of location.
