Intellinetics announces the creation of a new K-12 Division
Columbus, United States. 18 August, 2022 – Intellinetics, Inc., a provider of solutions and services that enable and accelerate digital transformation, announced it has launched a new K-12 Division focused exclusively on K-12 schools. The new Division integrates Intellinetics’ K-12 experienced educators, solutions, services, and partnerships to amplify growth as a provider in the K-12 market.
The K-12 Division will design and deploy purpose-built K-12 solutions for school districts making the move from paper to digital and beyond. The K-12 Division team of experts manage product development, service, support, marketing, and sales of solutions that include cloud-based records management software, digital forms, business process outsourcing, document and micrographics scanning, and records storage services.
“We are making a significant commitment to the K-12 market to better serve our customers,” states James F. DeSocio, president & CEO of Intellinetics. “Schools have untold amounts of organisational records locked in file cabinets, boxes, and digital storage locations of all shapes and sizes. We believe a unified division with common goals, objectives, and focus enables us to provide more value to educators – we can better leverage the people, partnerships, and technology to deliver solutions for some of K-12’s biggest challenges.”
DeSocio further states, “With our acquisition of Yellow Folder in April, we believe we now have one of the largest market shares of digital records management services to K-12 schools in the nation, having over 530 school district customers across the US. We continue to be confident in our focus on the K-12 industry as a key market, and the creation of a business unit solely focused on that market underscores that confidence.”
Intellinetics’ K-12 Division service and solution pillars:
- Cloud-based records and content management: Building on the foundation of brands including YellowFolder, IntelliCloud, and K12Docs sold via Software Unlimited, Inc., we offer cloud-based Records Management Systems specifically built for the needs of K-12 schools for the secure storage, retrieval, and management of the district’s student, special education, employee, and administrative records.
- Digital forms with automated workflow: Allows district administrators to switch from the hassles of paper-based forms to online digital versions that automate routine processes to get the right data to the right people at the right time.
- Document and micrographics conversion services: A school’s paperless journey often starts by digitising (scanning) existing paper and/or film-based records. Our intelligent capture methodology automates the scanning and indexing of boxes of paper. Additional conversion services include the scanning and digitising of newspapers, books, and large format prints, as well as long-term offsite secure records storage.
- Integrations and partnerships: We continue to expand our existing and create new partnerships with student information systems, school accounting systems, and human resource information systems by building integrations that enhance districts’ investments in the applications they use every day.
