Regent Partners With TopSchool
July 31, 2008
Regent Education, the leading provider of financial aid management Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
solutions for higher education institutions, today announced that it has formed a partnership with
TopSchool, Inc. TopSchool is a leading SaaS provider of next generation administrative solutions
optimized for small to mid-size higher education institutions.
TopSchool provides educational institutions with a seamless, extensible, easy-to-manage, and
economical student lifecycle management (SLM) solution. TopSchool’s SLM consists of a student
information system (SIS) at its core, integrated with a customer relationship management system
(CRM), student and faculty portal, reporting suite, and support services. Through the partnership,
Regent Enterprise will be fully integrated into TopSchool’s SLM as the financial aid module,
enabling institutions to more efficiently manage the financial aid process.
“TopSchool’s mission is to help institutions drive insights and decisions across the student
lifecycle by providing industry leading technologies and support services,” said Matthew
Schnittman, TopSchool’s President CEO. “With complementary delivery models, our partnership
with Regent further supports our goal to provide institutions with state-of-the-art solutions to
more effectively serve their students and manage their operations.”
Regent Enterprise will provide TopSchool clients with an easy to implement, turnkey solution
that will revolutionize the way institutions process financial aid, giving them innovative,
intuitive tools to automate and manage every aspect of the financial aid lifecycle. Because
the solution is on demand, the financial aid office will always be up-to-date and remain compliant
with the real time delivery of the latest federal and state regulations. Regent Enterprise helps
institutions standardize and centralize the management of financial aid, resulting in increased
productivity, ensured compliance, and controlled costs.
TopSchool SLM is delivered in a SaaS subscription model, enabling institutions to save up to
50% on costs related to SIS. Top School’s approach represents a significant departure from
traditional SIS vendors and focuses on providing rapid start-up and continuous software updates,
leveraging its highly flexible, industry-specific SaaS platform to address institutions' needs. The
merging of these leading technology solutions will enable TopSchool and Regent to ensure their
customers realize a high return on investment while increasing efficiencies and customer service.
“Regent’s partnership with TopSchool represents the market demand for on demand solutions,”
said Michael Ratti, Regent’s CEO. “TopSchool’s SLM combined with Regent Enterprise will provide
institutions with a power house solution that will allow them to easily and effectively manage
information in a way they’ve never been able to do before.”
