Carnegie Mellon University Bridges Middle East Admission Processing Across Time Zones
Carnegie Mellon implements FolderWave's Web-based "read anywhere, anytime"
application in Qatar's Education City, bridging global boundaries
Pittsburgh, PA — June 22, 2009 — Carnegie Mellon University, one of the nation's premier institutions of Higher Education, has significantly enhanced its international admission processes by implementing FolderWave's 'software as a service' (SaaS) infrastructure and Undergraduate Admission Module in Qatar.
"Given our success with FolderWave in Pittsburgh, it was a natural extension to implement in our campus in Qatar so there are no geographical, time lag or time zone boundaries to our review process," said Michael Steidel, Director of Admission. "Leveraging the same infrastructure allows us to deploy to Qatar in a few weeks. And, now we can help them review, and they can help us synchronize our reading and outreach processes. Going paperless is a global message, so our Qatar campus is also doing their part to be 'green.'"
"It's exciting to have an international campus like Carnegie Mellon improving their processes across the globe with our solutions," said Bob Burke, president of FolderWave. "It's a model that is quickly and economically implemented, works successfully and rapidly, literally anywhere at any time and has proven that it can really contribute to reducing costs and extending the reach of the institution. We are thrilled."
