Schools Enjoy a Safer, Quicker Way to Access Student Records
Holding all of our student record information within a secure and accessible system is essential for us – Storetec provides this and more. The academies can access their own documents when needed, whilst the Head Office team can see all of the information across the group. We did suffer a fire at one of our buildings last year and would have lost all of the student records if we hadn’t been working with Storetec.

What
What We Did
We arranged to collect the document archives from each academy over a six-month period. After scanning the student records, we converted the scanned images into text-searchable PDF images. Then, we indexed them using the client’s own indexing system to facilitate easy access. We added the scanned documents to an individual database, one per academy, and uploaded them onto our cloud-based document and content management system, MDI Cloud. Access controls allows each location to be able to see their own documents only, which is essential due to the confidential nature of the student records. To make sure each academy’s student records are kept up to date, we set up quarterly collections. Now, the academies can offer each student an electronic copy of their record of education.
