Partnership with Docufide® enables secure, electronic delivery of school reports, recommendations, and transcripts to colleges and universities worldwide

Washington, DC, June 8, 2009 -- Naviance, the leader in student success planning for schools, is excited to announce Naviance eDocs, the only integrated service for schools that provides fully electronic delivery to more than 1,000 colleges of all school report forms, recommendation letters, transcripts, and secondary school profiles. Naviance eDocs is powered by Docufide, the leading provider of Educational Records Management services, and is available at no additional charge to Naviance Network members that use Counselor’s Office, the company’s market-leading college planning system.

The 2009-2010 school year will mark five years since Naviance began helping its members streamline what had been a burdensome process of printing, collating, and mailing credentials for each student’s college applications. The network of participating colleges has grown steadily each year. Now with over 1,000 colleges and universities on board – and with the support of the Common Application, a list that includes every Common Application member institution – Naviance is proud to support the world’s largest fully electronic network of schools and colleges exchanging admissions information.

Since Naviance eDocs is powered by Docufide, Naviance Network members have an easy upgrade path to Docufide’s flagship Secure Transcript™ service that allows schools to exchange transcripts with one another and deliver admissions materials to every accredited college and university worldwide. With Secure Transcript, documents are delivered electronically when possible, but for recipients that don’t yet accept electronic delivery, Docufide prints and mails documents providing a completely seamless experience for high schools.

Working together Docufide and Naviance have transformed college admissions. In the past admissions cycle, Docufide and Naviance delivered more than 700,000 documents, conserving paper, printing, and postage and saving schools hundreds of thousands of dollars. With Naviance eDocs and expanded access to Secure Transcript, thousands more schools will join the electronic admissions revolution this fall, reducing the administrative headaches for families, counselors, registrars, and college admissions staff.
