TOWER Software partners with Philadelphia School of the Future with Enterprise Content Management

May 16, 2006 – Reston, Va -The President of TOWER Software, Jan Rosi, announced that their Enterprise Content Management solution, TRIM Context 6, will be supplied to the Philadelphia School of the Future to improve efficiency and effectiveness in school administration. The state-of-the-art high school is scheduled to open this fall and will serve approximately 750 students. It will incorporate the latest technologies to support and enhance the academic program and administrative functions.

“TRIM Context 6 has already proven to be a valuable tool for school administrators in state and local educational systems improving the management of functions such as student registration, financial and human resources,” says Jan Rosi. TRIM Context manages and secures vital information assets, enabling the automatic capture of information while maintaining current daily procedures. The solution includes tightly integrated document management, email management, process management, and records management functionality in a single application. “TOWER Software is proud to support this educational initiative and looks forward to helping the school streamline their information management processes,” Ms. Rosi continues.

The School District of Philadelphia expects this new high school to be a laboratory and model for the “school of the future”. In doing so, it must be replicable, not only throughout the School District of Philadelphia, but districts nationwide, both large and small. It will also serve as a planning model of how private industry and the public sector can work together to reform education and, in the long term, transform neighborhoods. The end result of this joint partnership will be a state-of-the-art educational institution incorporating the latest technology that will advance students’ academic possibilities and be a conduit for career development. The goal is for the students to have more choices and educational opportunities.

This partnership will help raise awareness of Philadelphia’s public education system.  For more information about the Philadelphia School of the Future, please visit http://www.phila.k12.pa.us/offices/sof.
