The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) & ECMNOW!

Thursday, December 6th, 2012

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act

Compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal law designed to protect the privacy of student records, is an ongoing struggle for many educational institutions. These schools must safeguard student information from unauthorized access. They must prevent the unlawful sharing of current or archived student records. They notify parents and adult students annually of their rights under FERPA. And they must do all of this without interruption to their normal day-to-day activities.

Failure to comply with FERPA can jeopardizes federal funding.

“When I sit down in conversation with other people in higher education, the concern over student records eventually is traced to FERPA,” said Jeff Schiller, Network Manager and Security Architect. “Nobody in the IT business wants to be the CIO of the university that gets written up in the New Times because they had some breach of privacy.”

The Answer: Enterprise Content Management (ECM)!

ECM technology, like ECMNOW! From Digitech Systems, helps schools efficiently store and access electronic documents, save money by reducing costs and avoiding fines, improve control over student records, and meet FERPA requirements. ECMNOW! Provides a comprehensive records system to help control and manage student documents.

Avoiding Data Theft in Retail using ECMNOW! for PCI DSS Compliance

Friday, November 30th, 2012

Data theft in the retail industry can be devastating. The hit to a company’s reputation can affect a retailer for years. So to improve security, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was established in 2004. These 12 mandatory requirements for all merchants and credit card payment processors were designed to help protect credit card information and prevent credit card fraud. Noncompliance can result in recurring audits, heavy fines and legal controversies.

Yet according to a recent PCI DSS compliance study, 71% of respondents do not believe their organization views data security as a top priority, while 55%  do not believe their CEO has strong support for PCI DSS compliance efforts. And more than 50% of respondents do not believe their organization is proactive in managing privacy and data protection risks.

ECMNOW!: Enabling PCI DSS Compliance

Digitech Systems’ ECMNOW! not only address challenges unique to the retail industry and PCI DSS compliance, but also helps improve efficiency, increase controls, and save the user money.

Benefits of PCI DSS for Retailers

3. Save Money by avoiding Security Breaches: ECMNOW! helps protect your retail company from incurring heavy fines from credit card companies.

Each school is required to reach NCLB’s standards for yearly progress. Noncompliance can result in the loss of millions of dollars in funding.

  • Save money by reducing document management costs

“The tools provided by sophisticated, technology-based student information systems will play a key role in turning vast amounts of raw data into usable  knowledge for managing and guiding the education process as required by the No Child Left Behind Act,” said James Parsley, American Association of School Administrators.

Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) Compliance and Digitech Systems

Friday, November 16th, 2012

If your business involves lending money for home mortgages, then you must comply with the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), which was enacted by Congress in 1975 and implemented by the Federal Reserve Board. The act requires lenders to collect and disclose information about housing-related loans and applications via a standard electronically-submitted report. Lenders must also ensure report accuracy, protect consumer privacy, and disclose a statement to the public.

A Violation of HMDA guidelines could be costly, resulting in civil fines and much more.

“HMDA alone requires the bank to complete 25 specific items on the Loan Application Register for every routine mortgage refinancing,” said Bradley E. Rock, Chairman of the American Bankers Association. “Considering that more than 10 million mortgages were refinanced over the last three years, it is obvious that this is a huge reporting burden.”

To help perform the above processes more efficiently, Digitech Systems has developed several technologies to help manage information electronically, control record completeness and accuracy, disclose data in a secure format, and save money, all while complying with HMDA guidelines.

ECMNOW! From Digitech Systems

ECMNOW! Allows users to integrate multiple data systems, automate document routing and store email messages for retrieval. This allows users to manage all of their data in a single, searchable system, which is beneficial in several ways, including:

  • Improve efficiency
  • Compliance with HMDA
  • Enable users to convert paper loan applications to electronic files
  • Identify and search documents quickly
  • Control information and verify reports
  • Ensure indexing accuracy
  • Provide audit reports
  • Easily hide personal information
  • Save Money
  • And more!

Best of all, ECMNOW! simplifies HMDA report distribution!

Enterprise Content Management (ECM): A Green Solution to Document Management

Friday, November 2nd, 2012

There are few business solutions that can help your organization cut costs while also boosting productivity and profitability. There are even fewer solutions that can accomplish this while also being good for the environment. But that is exactly what you get with Enterprise Content Management (ECM).

ECM technology can help companies save both the environment and precious dollars by conserving paper, reducing waste, and shrinking your carbon footprint.

Benefits of ECM

  • Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The paper industry ranks 4th in contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and contributes 9% of the manufacturing sector’s carbon emissions.
  • Reduce Paper Use: Offices in the United States use about 12.1 trillion sheets of paper annually, with that figure rising by 20% every year. ECM can help drastically cut your paper usage. And cutting paper use by just 10% would prevent the emission of 1.6 million tons of greenhouse gases.
  • Reduce Waste: Your average employee produces 1.5 pounds of paper waste per day. This is just one reason why 40% of the solid mass in landfills is paper and paperboard waste.
  • Save Money on Office Supplies: With ECM, you will find you use less ink, office supplies, boxes, filing cabinets and costly real estate for paper storage.
  • Reduced Shipping Costs: With less need for transportation and shipping, your company will spend less money on shipping fees and gasoline, cutting down on oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Reduce Labor: Managing paper documents requires a lot of manual labor. ECM helps cut those needs.

A recent Digitech Systems survey found that 60% of potential customers are interested in adopting technology to help their company go green. PaperVision® Enterprise and ImageSilo® are green solutions that can help your company enhance employee morale, reduce waste, increase productivity, cut costs, boost profitability, and help the environment!
