CAMS Enterprise Gives Universities Fully Integrated Financial Aid

CAMS Enterprise Provides Data Integration For The Entire Student Lifecycle

ST. LOUIS, MO. September 29, 2009 – As a longtime user of the CAMS® Enterprise academic ERP from Three Rivers Systems, Inc, Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, Texas recently also brought their Financial Aid management under the CAMS umbrella when they migrated from PowerFAIDS® (from the College Board) to CAMS Financial Aid. Now processing Financial Aid is easier and more accurate, and the entire institution is enjoying the benefits of having one integrated solution for all its administrative work. Mark Walker, Director of Campus Software praised the institution’s relationship with Three Rivers Systems saying, “Three Rivers is committed to SAGU and has been a great partner. We are constantly impressed by the dedicated employees that help us day-to-day. I’ve never seen a company that works so closely with its customers as they have done.”

The university’s Financial Aid office went live with the new functionality in August, and instantly benefitted from the advanced automation and fully integrated data environment. The ability for Financial Aid staff to quickly create formulas to package blocks of student awards simultaneously, along with the enhanced reporting capabilities, immediately boosted the department’s productivity. In addition, because CAMS Financial Aid shares the same database with the rest of the system, it is always up-to-date with the most recent student registrations. This saves the Financial Aid staff hours of time and hassle by eliminating the need to manually import and export student registration data. Brad Hough, Three Rivers Systems’ Vice-President noted, “This is a great example of how CAMS Enterprise’s outstanding functionality and true integration combine to increase efficiency and lower costs for all of our clients.”
