Enter once, use everywhere. With Senior Systems, you get the best of both worlds—modular software components give you the flexibility to configure just the system you need, but all the modules utilize a single, central database for seamless integration. You don’t have any of the headaches that come with trying to keep multiple copies of data synchronized between applications. Along with improved data integrity, full integration also gives you real productivity benefits, since your staff doesn’t need to enter the same data more than once. And full integration means real-time updating, so you know you’ve got the latest version.
Here are just some of the ways that data is shared between and among Senior Systems products:
- Student and parent biographical data, addresses, emergency contacts, and family links are shared by all of the Senior Systems modules
- Accepted applicant data from Admissions is shared with Enrollment Management
- Applicant data from Admissions is transferred upon enrollment, making it quick and easy to set up new student records and accounts in Registrar and Accounts Receivable

- Purchase order receipts can update inventory for Campus Store or create new fixed assets
