Freedom to Focus: How Automation is Empowering Admissions Officers to Do More
EXPEDITE TRANSCRIPT PROCESSING
In today's fast-paced and competitive higher education landscape, admissions and registrar officers face numerous challenges in processing the increasing volume of high school, transfer credit, international, and military transcripts. Traditional manual data entry is time-consuming, costly, and prone to errors, while outdated systems struggle to integrate with course equivalency databases and provide efficient processing, resulting in delays and missed opportunities for enrollment.
Shamrock Solutions’ innovative OCR transcript processing solution, Freedom, is intentionally designed to address these pain points. Freedom will revolutionize the way your Admissions & Registrar departments operate by empowering your teams to focus on selecting the best candidates, and shaping the future of your institution.
Freedom assists higher education institutions by streamlining the management of high school, transfer credit, international, and military transcripts, significantly reducing processing time and manual data entry costs. Its seamless integration with course equivalency databases and existing systems simplifies the admissions process, enabling admissions and registrar officers to make faster, more informed decisions.
As a result, higher education institutions can provide a more efficient and satisfying experience for prospective students, ultimately enhancing their reputation and competitiveness in the increasingly demanding higher education landscape.

WE'RE PROCESS SOLVERS!
Shamrock was born out of a passion for solving the critical business problems
that prevent you from doing great work.
As an institution for higher learning, you are challenged to provide best-in-class service in support of people’s futures. The complexities of today’s higher-ed landscape go beyond paperless operation – especially when critical information exists outside of your core systems like SIS, ERP, and CRM.
It’s possible that you’re not able to access key information that better enables you to make important decisions directly related to the futures you’re helping to create. And if gaps in your processes are slowing your team down – you’re likely suffering the impact of higher stress, poor motivation and a disjointed approach towards your overall mission.
