Case Study: Phillips Exeter Academy Achieves Paperless Admissions with DocFinity

Phillips Exeter Academy Implements Paperless Admissions with DocFinity ECM

Phillips Exeter Academy, a prestigious boarding school, faced significant inefficiencies and security concerns due to its heavily paper-based admissions process. This created challenges for staff access, document tracking, and the ability for reviewers to work remotely. To address this, the school partnered with vendor DocFinity to implement its Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system.

The DocFinity solution digitized the entire admissions workflow, integrating with the school's existing systems. This allowed staff to manage and review applications electronically from any location, drastically accelerating processing times. As a result, the academy minimized paper, enhanced security, and improved operational efficiency, with one staff member noting the ability to review 500 applications, a task that was previously impossible. The success in Admissions has led PEA to expand the use of DocFinity to other departments across its campus.
