Southeastern University Grows With Jenzabar
ERP System Meets Growth Needs with Service Enhancements
and Expanded Online Capabilities


Cambridge, MA September 12, 2005 — Jenzabar, Inc., the pioneer of Total Campus Management (TCM) solutions for higher education, today announced that Southeastern University, Lakeland, FL, has selected the Jenzabar EX ERP system to help meet increasing information technology needs as a result of the University’s extraordinary growth. The University has doubled its enrollment in the past seven years and has expanded the number of programs and degrees offered, contributing to heightened demands on the institution’s student information systems. Southeastern chose to expand its decade-long relationship with the Jenzabar companies after a thorough evaluation of the currently available ERP systems for higher education. A task force assembled from stakeholders across the Southeastern campus determined that the Jenzabar EX solution was the best fit for the University’s immediate and future needs. Providing students with 24x7 access to their personal information, improving the quality of Web-based services to all its constituents and creating opportunities for new and enhanced services are three goals that Southeastern University looks to attain as a result of this decision.

“This was a ‘ground up’ decision driven by those who actually use the system,” stated Ken Faneuff, Southeastern University’s Director of Information Technology. “Our recommendation noted that we expect to realize significant departmental efficiencies campus-wide, and the move into a Windows® environment will make our administrative system more user-friendly. We were comfortable with Jenzabar as a company, and we were impressed with the reporting and communications tools that Jenzabar EX brings. Jenzabar EX will provide a good foundation for our continuing growth, beyond serving an increasing number of students, to providing them with more and better quality services,” he added.

Helping client institutions improve the delivery of services and information to their constituents is the premise behind all Jenzabar offerings, and the ability to easily access comprehensive, real-time information is primary to the Jenzabar EX solution. Jenzabar EX stores all administrative information in a single integrated database, eliminating the need to enter data more than once—and eliminating the concern that administrators may be using outdated or incomplete information. Jenzabar EX helps institutions manage data through the entire student lifecycle, from Admissions and Registration through Financial Aid, Student Life, and Advising to Alumni Development. The fully-integrated business office applications in Jenzabar EX streamline administrative tasks in Human Resources, Purchasing, and Finance, including General Ledger, Accounts Payable, and Accounts Receivable. This system, combined with Jenzabar’s Internet Campus Solution (JICS) Web portal, delivers a single point of access with targeted, individualized information to the appropriate audience, whether it’s the institution’s president or a student registering for class. Continued Faneff, “From an IT perspective, our system users will be able to handle many routine tasks themselves, reducing their reliance on IT, particularly in creating and running reports. We also believe that the system’s flexibility and progression onto the Microsoft® .NET platform will open opportunities for the University, enabling our programmers to innovate, by integrating with other applications and customizing the system such that we can address our unique needs and make it our own.”

“We applaud Southeastern University’s remarkable growth, and we are pleased to continue to provide the administrative infrastructure to support their ongoing success,” said Robert A. Maginn, Chairman and CEO of Jenzabar, Inc. “It is gratifying to see client institutions adopt our Total Campus Management, using our systems as a springboard to achieving improvements and efficiencies in their processes, along with the achievement of goals such as enrollment growth, student retention, competitive advantage, and institutional advancement.”

Jenzabar’s Total Campus Management (TCM) framework meets the unique business needs of higher education with a comprehensive approach to software and services, from a front-end campus portal to fully integrated, functionally-rich enterprise systems. Each custom-tailored TCM solution is built from Jenzabar’s integrated ERP, campus intelligence, Internet portal, and constituent relationship modules.
