This combination will bring Spoon River College an integrated administrative system and the ability to extract vital business intelligence with Internet-enabled efficiency. Spoon River College joins a growing group, approaching 200 community colleges nationwide that have adopted Jenzabar solutions.

Jenzabar TCM solutions allow educational institutions to truly leverage their data. Jenzabar CX is a robust system that links all administrative offices through a centralized database and delivers a full suite of powerful yet flexible reporting tools. The ERP system’s fully-integrated business office applications will streamline administrative tasks in Human Resources, Purchasing, and Finance, including General Ledger, Accounts, Payable, and Accounts Receivable. Jenzabar’s student information systems will help the College manage data through the entire student lifecycle, from Admissions and Registration through Financial Aid, Student Life, and Advising to Alumni Development. The Jenzabar platform delivers targeted, individualized information to the appropriate audience, whether it’s the institution’s president or a student registering for class.

“In choosing an administrative software provider for the College, we weren’t looking only for a technical solution, but rather a strategic partnership,” said Dr. Tom Hines, president of Spoon River College. “From the beginning, Jenzabar has been proactive in their implementation strategy and willing to adjust their processes to meet the unique needs of our institution.”

Jenzabar’s Internet Campus uses the database’s intelligence to push out the information clients need for their role-specific duties. Jenzabar’s Data Mart solutions provide enterprise data analysis tools to pull information out of the system. Data Marts simplify the extraction of value-based data from the application systems for the analysis of trends and consolidated reporting across multiple subject areas of the institution. Standard reports, analysis models, and data visualizations, such as geographical mapping, are a part of each subject area solution.
