Case Study: Jones College achieves one-stop, cloud-based student services and up to $40,000 in first-year savings with Laserfiche

Jones College Provides One-Stop Student Services with Laserfiche Cloud

Jones College, a public community college in Ellisville, MS, consolidated five previously separate departments (financial aid, admissions, records, recruiting and student success) into a single enrollment management unit to improve the student experience. The college faced slow, paper-based workflows, physical handoffs that risked information loss, limited IT staff, and the urgency of COVID-19-driven remote work — all while summer enrollment jumped about 15% year over year.

Partnering with Information Consultants, Jones deployed Laserfiche Cloud to centralize documents, launch electronic forms and automate workflows — implemented in roughly a week — and the financial aid team built 30+ online forms in two weeks. The shift enabled forms to be completed in minutes with e-signatures, automated student communications, stronger accountability, and estimated staff-time savings of $30,000–$40,000 in the first year, allowing the college to handle higher enrollment without adding staff and to pursue further integrations and automation.
