Before partnering with Verity, Nightingale College, an accredited nursing school, faced major challenges with outdated software systems. Despite hitting enrollment targets, their Admissions team struggled with:

✅ Duplicate work
✅ Lack of visibility into the paper stream
✅ Data loss from software downtime
✅ Substantial delays in completing tasks

But then, they made the game-changing switch to Verity!

In 2019, Nightingale had 250 students. By Summer 2022, with Verity's support, they reached 2,000 students. Now, fast forward to Fall 2023, and they're educating 4,500 students! 📈

Document management is typically one of those tools that most Higher Ed professionals would say that their system is “good enough.”

Until they get audited.

Even if you’re prepared, the audit process can feel overwhelming and stressful because nobody wants to be caught in a position where they can’t show their documentation when asked.

With the right document management system in place, you can rest assured knowing that your documents are:

- Easily accessible to your staff and students
- Secure
- Organized

So, if you’re looking for a sign that it’s time to upgrade your document management system, here it is:

Has your document management system kept up with your school’s evolving needs? If not, it’s time to make an upgrade.

For years, staff at J-Tech Institute in Jacksonville, FL were stuck using a legacy software system that:

- Required manual data entry
- Offered limited reporting
- Was prone to human error
- Wasn't scalable with their growth goals
- Had a high cost of ownership

Then, they made the switch to Verity.

After onboarding with Verity, they were able to reduce the time spent on manual data input by 20-30%, all while growing their student population by 11% year-over-year.

Now, their team is operating at a higher level of efficiency and profitability with automation, system integration, and real-time reporting.

“To be where we are today, without Verity, we would have had to hire 3 people,” said Aimee Hammond, Vice President at J-Tech.

Whenever you introduce new technology to a team, it’ll take some time for everyone to get on board.

This is what we call the user adoption curve.

As you can see, you’ll get a few innovators and early adopters, but it’s much more difficult to get the bulk of the team bought into any new technology that you implement.

You’ll almost always have stragglers that are resistant to change and don’t want to learn how to use the new technology—no matter how good the tech is.

It takes time and consistency to get everyone to buy into the new software. Check out this blog for tips to get ahead of the curve: https://hubs.ly/Q027JNJ40
