Earn an A+ for admissions
Ricoh's Admissions Process Automation Solution replaces your paper-based processes with efficient data capture and automated digital workflows — helping to improve your information flow, reduce potential errors, and improve the admissions process for your team and prospective students.
Simplify the admissions process for your team
Digitize your incoming admissions documents to speed up processing and communications.
Your admissions team is dealing with different forms of documents submission including: online, snail mail, faxes and emails. It can be challenging and time-consuming for your team to organize and manage all of those different pieces of information, which can ultimately slow communication with perspective students.
Our services and technologies will convert your hard-copy documents, automate and digitize your manual, paper-based processes, and streamline your entire operation into a better experience for both your team and your applicants. Working at digital speed, we can help you and your team complete admissions paperwork fast and help you protect sensitive applicant information.
Our experts can assess your situation and apply the best practices we've developed as a result of our work with over 3,000 education customers in North America.
On average, the recruitment to enrollment conversion rate in higher education institutions is 30-40%.
Improving that by as little as 20% can lead to increased revenue of as much as $200,000 per year.**
Ricoh's solution dramatically improves the student credit transfer process with an automated end-to-end workflow. Students can apply online or in person. Data coming from a variety of sources is safeguarded and available only to relevant personnel. And when the process is complete, all documentation is archived in a secure repository. The result is time savings, reduced cost, unburdened staff and a positive student experience that can dramatically reduce the process from weeks to days.
