Expanding Online Strategic Security University Selects CAMS® Enterprise As Its Academic ERP Software Partner

Online, April 18, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Henley-Putnam University™, the country's leading accredited online institution for higher education in the strategic security industry, has chosen CAMS® Enterprise, flagship product of Three Rivers Systems Inc., as its new academic enterprise resource planning, or ERP, system to manage its entire student lifecycle.

Henley-Putnam University serves professionals in the strategic security industry, especially within the law enforcement, military and intelligence community, by increasing their opportunities for advancement in the fields of intelligence management, counterterrorism studies, and strategic security and protection management. Its focus is on delivering user friendly, high quality, online programs with an emphasis on furthering knowledge in deterrence and prevention.

The university's rapid growth, extensive mission-critical online offerings and diverse student body require a comprehensive academic management system that can handle wide-ranging demands easily, efficiently and with high return on investment. CAMS Enterprise is an ideal solution because it eliminates the need for students, faculty and administrators to learn, interface and manage a patchwork of often incompatible systems.

These features and others make CAMS the first choice of colleges and universities seeking higher returns from their IT infrastructure investments, and those like Henley-Putnam that need to keep up with projected expansion. CAMS Enterprise is the only fully integrated, 100-percent Web-native academic ERP system for higher education built exclusively with Microsoft technology around a single, secure database with one set of shared code.

CAMS Enterprise is a seamless academic ERP written from the ground up as a single solution. With a client-validated rapid-implementation process, schools quickly transition to the new system and enjoy greater accessibility, better automation, improved communication and deeper business intelligence.

CAMS includes a host of advanced automated features - CRM, registration, financial aid, billing, fundraising, portals, built-in course management and more - to manage the entire admissions-to-alumni student lifecycle for colleges and universities.

Henley-Putnam University offers 125 online courses taught by faculty members who have worked in strategic security positions in the military and/or in government agencies for an average of 22 years. Their extensive hands-on experience makes them uniquely equipped to share practical field expertise in all areas of strategic security, including intelligence management, terrorism and counterterrorism studies, and strategic security & protection management. Its mentoring program pairs students with experienced professionals from all areas of the strategic security world.

"We expect that CAMS Enterprise will support our aggressive growth and expansion plans," Henley-Putnam CEO Jim Killin said. "Other systems we looked at couldn't offer that. Our RFP and due diligence processes were extremely detailed and thorough. We chose CAMS Enterprise based on our need for a system that's easy to use and implement and that offers great support, predictable cost of ownership and the ability to grow with us."

Amir Tajkarimi, company president and founder of Three Rivers Systems, welcomed Henley-Putnam University to the CAMS Community and commended the institution's mission. "We are happy to count Henley-Putnam among our clients and salute the university's efforts toward making the world a safer place for all who seek freedom, national security and peaceful co-existence."
