Document Management System in Education Organizations - By: Satish2
In this article we look at document management in educational organizations. We look at the typical functions of these organizations and the kinds of documents generated during these functions. We will also look at the management of these documents and the specific benefits that could be expected from a good document management system.
Education
Though a great deal of documents and collaborative working are involved in developing syllabi and training materials, we do not look at this specialized area in detail. This academic function is a separate topic by itself.
Student Administration
A vast amount of information has to be maintained about each student, starting with the admission process itself and typically ending with the issue of a course completion certificate when the student completes the course and leaves the organization.
The records must show any changes in the students’ contact and other personal details, course and billing details, and progress details, including achievements in different areas.
Different departments such as faculty and administration departments would access the student records. They must get uniform and up to date information at all times.
Access to student records should be allowed only for authorized persons. Information communicated about students should be accurate and should also be done in a confidential manner.
Parents and guardians should have access to the records of their wards.
Student Administration
In an electronic system, data does not need to be duplicated for reference purposes by different departments. Instead, student data can be entered just once into a central computer. Terminals attached to this computer can then be installed at all the departments for accessing student details whenever needed.
Password protecting access ensures appropriate system permissions are respected at all times. Parents and guardians could also be allowed access to the data, in this case limited to data about their wards. They can do this from their homes or even from abroad.
Compared to paper, a computer based system offers several advantages:
Reference is easy and can be done from anywhere. Paper documents have to be moved among people who want to refer to these types of documents. Such movement poses the danger of damage and loss.
With proper backup and other kinds of measures, damage and loss to computer-based data can be minimized, and preservation is easier.
Operating efficiency is far higher with instant access under a good document management system. Such a system makes retrieval of stored documents easy and intuitive. Locating and retrieving paper documents is a cumbersome process.
If paper documents are duplicated for ease of reference, possibilities of working with obsolete data becomes a risk. On the other hand, if everyone refers to the same data source in a central computer, where the latest update is clearly marked, this risk is eliminated.
Financial Management
Controlling expenditure is a difficult task with a paper-based system. The efficiency of the processes is so poor that you would be left behind competitors who use computer-based systems. This becomes clear if we look at the purchasing process.
Departments might initiate purchase requisitions unaware that the item is already in stock. In a computer-based system, they could check the stock position from their terminal before placing requisitions. Even though checking stock position is possible even in a paper based system, the personal interactions and time consuming verifications required often leads to it being neglected.
Several departments might place requisitions for the same item. If a purchasing process is initiated separately for each requisition, it would not only lead to more paperwork and time, but also to loss of quantity discounts and higher shipping costs. In a computer-based system, it would be easy to flag all such requisitions and club them into a single purchase action.
The purchasing process itself is made far more efficient and effective in a computerized environment. Requests for quotes can be emailed for immediate response, quotations can be compared faster, negotiations can be recorded automatically and orders placed quickly. Pending orders can be tracked more efficiently using flags to alert you when shipments are delayed.
Areas like recovering your dues could also be facilitated and even automated to some degree by using computerized document management systems. Student billing and reminders could be automated and up to date status reviewed at any time.
With budgets, you could develop a financial plan that considers availability of funds. With computerized accounts, expenditure can be tracked against budgets and flagged when the levels reach allocated amounts. The danger of running out of cash is thus minimized.
Alumni Management
A Web community of your alumni could be developed for maintaining a continuing and interactive relationship. Students leaving your organization could be encouraged to register at the community, enabling them to keep in touch with their old schoolmates.
You could use the community to keep your alumni informed about the developments at, and achievements of, their old school or college.
In such an environment, it would be far easier to receive donations and other kinds of support from your old students.
Benefits of A Good Document Management System
As detailed above under relevant sections, with a well-designed and computerized document management system, particularly one that is Web-based, it becomes possible to derive specific benefits.
Keep student information up to date, confidential and yet accessible to authorized persons
Improve both internal and external communications for building good relationships and facilitating effective performance
Exercise tight budgetary control over expenses and streamline purchasing procedures to keep outgo of funds within its availability
Improve availability of funds through prompt collections of dues and effective management of donations
Improve accountability at all levels and help build a professional image of the organization among donors, parents and the community

Find Out Your Own Profitable Niche - By: das
To start making money online relatively quickly, you need to find those subject areas that are not currently over-saturated by other marketers. You need to find your own niche, and one that is relatively uncompetitive.
Topics like health, internet marketing, gambling, etc, are all fiercely competitive, and very difficult for inexperienced marketers to make any decent money from. You can of course target these markets over time, but I recommend finding your own niche first and marketing to those people in these more narrow markets. These people are most likely not yet over-exposed to traditional marketing methods associated with internet marketing like squeeze pages, opt-in forms, sales letters, and so on, so you are more likely to be successful.
A potentially profitable niche would be one that has a decent number of keyword searches conducted every month, I would say at least a few thousand, and one where you could potentially achieve the number one spot, or at least get on the first page of results, for this keyword with a pagerank of 5 or less. This is Google's measure of how many links and the quality of links that a site has, and although it is not the only deciding factor, a higher figure will generally results in a higher ranking.
If you carry out a good link-building campaign, and fully optimize your website, it is not too difficult to achieve a pagerank of 5 or more within just a few months, and start climbing up the rankings. However, you have to remember that it can take several months for this high PR to be rewarded with a good ranking, particularly with Google and Yahoo.
To begin thinking up potential niches I recommend starting off with a blank piece of paper, or a blank page on your computer, and start brainstorming. Start listing all the things you're interested in, and also break these down into smaller, more narrow subjects as well.
You can also find out what other people online are talking about. Visit blogs, article directories, forums, groups, etc, and see which subjects seem to be cropping up over and over again. Again list any related keywords you can think of. You never know, one of these may be a potential goldmine.
Next take a look at the book and magazine sections of Amazon, and see which type of publications people are currently buying by looking at the top 100 or bestsellers list. Similarly you can go to Ebay and find out which items are selling more than others, and are therefore currently in demand.
Also look around you, closer to home. Visit libraries for potential ideas, and also go into newsagents, and look at the magazine section. If there's a magazine on a particular niche subject then there must be a decent demand for it, otherwise it wouldn't be in circulation.
Just be creative and you will soon have a large list of potential subjects and related keywords. Once you have this information you are ready to start conducting keyword research, as I mentioned earlier. There are various tools available, both free and paid services, but a good place to start is Yahoo's search marketing site. Just keep entering the keywords you've gathered and you will soon uncover high demand, low supply keywords that you could potentially base a website on, and start making some money from.

Advantages of Registery Fix - By: das
The need to fix a corrupt registry is something which any personal computer owner may face at any time. Perhaps in order to address whether it is important to fix a corrupt registry or not, let us first define the Windows registry. The Windows registry is a database of information about the configuration of a computer, including software, hardware as well as files and other preferences that you have set on your computer. When faced with a corrupt Windows Registry, many people wonder what causes this problem. Installing and un-installing software on your personal computer can sometimes leave unnecessary files on your computer, and this leads to reduced computer performance. As you use your PC on a day to day basis, the Windows registry size keeps growing, and this can also cause a corrupt Windows registry. Many computer users do not know when it is time to do a registry cleanup. So, what are the symptoms of a corrupt registry, and how do you know that it is time to fix your registry? The main symptoms of registry problems are frequent system crashes, Windows errors, slow performance, hardware malfunctioning and system crashes. In most cases, running your spyware tools do not help to improve the performance of the computer. Difficulties to log into your computer and when opening your software, files and games is also another sign that it is time to fix corrupt registry. Is it safe to ignore a corrupt registry problem and what are the risks of not fixing a corrupt registry? Given the fact that the Windows registry is the central part of your computer, it is not a good idea to ignore any signs that your registry is corrupt. This problem will not go way on its own, and a corrupt registry will only get worse if not repaired. There is also a risk that the Windows registry will be damaged up a point where it is impossible to repair it, which will mean having to buy a new computer. The crashes and freezes of your computer will occur more frequently as the condition of your windows registry deteriorates, and this will get to a point where your PC simply stops working. This means that you will probably lose your files, data, games and any other stuff that you have stored on your PC. Perhaps another important question which computer owners have is whether it is possible for them to manually fix registry problems. The fact is that a Windows registry is large and complex. It is also a rather delicate part of a computer such that if any damage is done to it, your PC may stop working completely. It also requires a very high level of computer expertise to understand how the Windows Registry works, let alone how to repair it. Trying to repair the windows registry manually on your own is therefore a very time-consuming, daunting and risky exercise for most computer users. When your computer has developed registry problems, it does not necessarily mean that you should buy a new computer. There are several reputable Windows registry repair utility programs on the internet that any computer user can use to fix a corrupt registry. For the average computer users, it is good to know that reputable registry cleaners are easy to run and use.

Ram Make A Computer Powerful - By: das
Changing from one computer to another is always a huge hassle. Separate from the setting up of the computer at the hardware level, it is the software installation that is more nerve-wracking. You have to install the operating system (which itself can be quite a long and boring process), then install the various programs you use commonly, the drivers for your peripheral devices and perform several configurations for optimizing the computer for your own use. But this is only the beginning. One of the higher tasks you have to do is to transfer all your files from your old computer to various. You can easily tick off half a day for simply transferring your workstation from one computer to another. If you have changed computers even once, you will realize that merely transferring files from your old computer to another is not enough. Let me give you an example. When I work, I use umpteen shortcuts in my word processor to make my work easier. Recently I changed computers. Now, even though I could transfer the files to the new computer, would the shortcuts come? Nope! Customizations cannot be simply copied and pasted from one computer to another. That is where PC mover software comes in. This software can help you to take all the files from your old computer and then transfer it onto another hard disk almost automatically. Such transfer software is able to move not just files and documents, but also settings from one hard disk to another. The transfer is done through a network, or through a USB device or any removable hardware that can be read by both computers between which the transfer is taking place. When done, you will find that the new computer has both the functional as well as the appearance aspects of your old computer. Apart from the fact that the computer you are using is new, you will never find some operative and access difference between the two computers. Moreover, since the process is automated, very little user intervention is needed. Once the software has been installed and the process has been set up, the transfer takes place automatically through whichever transfer process has been selected. It is also likely to move across operating systems, and even across dissimilar types of computers, such as from PC to Mac. PC mover software can also be used to transfer all users present on a computer to a new one either in bulk or one by one, whichever is convenient. In short, PC mover software is very much convenient whenever there is a want to switch PCs. You do not have to compromise on your methods of working when you have to change your personal computer anymore with such software.

Know The Working of Computer Memory System - By: das
You are probably tied to your computer with work and personal use. It is not surprising considering how much time is spent working on computers each day. The world would come to a grinding halt without them. But they cannot work if they do not have the right amount of computer memory installed. Everything your pc performs, from software to hardware, involves the computer's storage. It can also mean the difference between having a fast computer and having one that takes forever. Your laptop or desktop memory is very important. It is how the pc runs and how the software runs. It is certainly more than just being able to save a document you are typing or being able to download a song. The memory computer systems need is centered around how fast it can run and how quickly data can be loaded. A pc's memory is the amount of storage on it. Taking for example generic memory, when a pc stores information in its temporary memory it is able to run much faster. The process of accessing computer storage is very easy. The Central Processing Unit (or CPU) wants to use the closest information it can find first. So it stores vital information to keep the computer running efficiently in a temporary storage or cache first. Only after looking in this file will the pc search through the long term permanent storage. Both desktop computers and notebooks use this same method for gathering its information. There are a few terms you need to know when it comes to your computer's memory. The first is RAM which stands for Random Access Memory. The second is ROM (Read-Only Memory). The third is OS which stands for Operating System and finally BIOS which is Basic Input/Output System. Each of these terms is used to describe how the pc's storage is used to access the information and load the systems. Computer memory can seem a bit complicated. There are a lot of terms to know and it can be confusing. The best summary is that the faster the computer is, the more it needs to keep a temporary folder to access information. Think of it like a Post-It note that you write down a phone number on when you are in a hurry. You will not leave the number on there if it is important, you will save it someplace else. But you have it there for quick reference.

Ideas That Will Save You Money - By: das
Your home office can be a huge source of wasted energy if you're not careful. With all of those electronic devices, it's easy to spend a lot on powering your office. If you're concerned about your energy bill and your carbon usage, it's important that you get your power situation under control. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps that you can use to make your office energy efficient. The first step, if you haven't already done this already, is to change all the lighting in your home office from standard light bulbs to compact fluorescent bulbs. Most people do this throughout the house all at once. CFLs use less energy and last up to five times as long as regular bulbs, so it's worth the extra cost associated with them. The biggest power usage in your office probably comes from your computer. If you're using a desktop model, it's important that you make the switch from a CRT monitor to an energy-saving LCD flat screen monitor as soon as possible. Although this can be expensive, you can find a good monitor for under $200. This switch will save you even more on energy costs. You can also save energy (and money) by changing the way that you use your computer. If you are accustomed to leaving your computer on 24/7, you are setting yourself up for having an energy usage problem in your office. You need to shut down your computer each day when you are done using it. If you pop off and on the computer several times per day, as many people do, you should set up your computer's automatic timing so that it goes into sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. This way your computer will still be available, but it won't be using so much power all the time. Speaking of powering down, make it a habit to turn off your printer, fax machine or scanner when they aren't in use. If you leave them on all the time, they are draining power when you don't need them. Many machines and appliances will still draw power from the source, even when they are turned off. Put your office equipment on a power strip, so that you can switch off the electricity to all appliances at once. These devices don't take that long to power up and it's just easier to get them up and running when you need them instead of leaving them on all of the time. If you're really serious about energy consumption, you could hire a professional energy auditor to come and evaluate your office for energy issues. However, there's a new device available called Kill-A-Watt that can help you do the same thing for much less money. The Kill-A-Watt device plugs into the wall, and then you plug your power strips and electronics into the device. The device will track how much energy is being used by each electronic so you know where you can cut back and how much you are actually using. For about $40, it's are an excellent example of spending a little to save a lot. With a few purchases and a few changes in your habits, your office can be energy efficient. It's important that you not let the trend stop here. Once you've learned the basics of energy efficiency, take this habit to the rest of your house and you'll be surprised with a lower energy bill.
