Overall Satisfaction with Slate, by Technolutions

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My university uses Slate[, by Technolutions] to manage applications for prospective students.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Organizing diverse sets of information
Fairly easy to navigate
Condenses info into downloadable pdf

Cons

Doesn't automatically advance to the next application in the queue once one application is processed
Doesn't allow an easy view of other queues to see what is coming down the pike
Doesn't allow users to copy email of applicants

Return on Investment

We aren't really a business, per se, but a nonprofit university. However, Slate[, by Technolutions] does allow us to easily sort applications into categories for different departments to review. And it provides a clear trail of who is looking at various documents when--and how long it takes to process them.

Once an applicant's file is reviewed and moved on to be accepted or rejected, there does not seem to be an easily accessible archive of the application document. It would be nice to easily dip into an archive/record of all accepted students' applications. Slate[, by Technolutions] does work well for giving multiple reviewers (an admissions committee) access to the documents.
