Protect Private Information

Keeping confidential information secure is crucial, but administering records access under FERPA and HIPAA consumes staff time. Using Laserfiche, you design and implement a security policy that protects your information—without interfering with existing business processes.

  • Use whiteout redactions when responding to FOIA requests—making it impossible for a reader to determine how many words in a sentence were removed.
  • Safeguard confidential information with security tags, restricting access to superintendents and/or assistant superintendents.
  • Control confidential records, and prevent them from showing up in a repository search.
  • Dynamically apply document-level security, maintaining different levels of security for each type of document within a personnel or student file.

Manage Human Resources Records

With Laserfiche, authorized users can instantly retrieve employee handbooks, policy manuals, accident reports and signed documents with a single click.

  • Capture, secure and centralize all applicant information—from e-mails to letters of reference and handwritten applications—in Laserfiche to quickly identify the best candidates.
  • Meet HIPAA requirements by segregating and securing employee health records.
  • Eliminate manual searching of personnel files for transfer requests.
  • Scan and distribute paper receipts and expense reports, accelerating the reimbursement process.

Simplify Union Recordkeeping

Reduce time lost on hard-copy file retrieval with full-text, index and other precision searches. By storing all collective bargaining agreements between your district and its unions in Laserfiche, when a provision is questioned, applicable contract provisions are easily located in minutes, instead of hours or days.

  • Store, search and retrieve collective bargaining agreements between the district and employee unions.
  • Quickly determine a history on a particular contract provision with a simple word search.
  • Manage all files relating to union’s negotiations, arbitrations, grievances and meeting minutes.
