August 2005: ImageFast  Help Lincolnshire County Council Reduce Processing Times for School Admissions

CASE STUDY – Lincolnshire County Council
Lincolnshire County Council, which co-ordinates the admissions process for more than 350 Primary and Secondary schools, decided that the best way to ensure an accurate and timely procedure was to automate it as much as possible.

In August 2005, the council asked ImageFast  to implement a solution allowing them to produce a customised admissions form, scan it once completed, and validate the form to reduce errors.
Barry Tointon, Pupil Services Manager at Lincolnshire County Council, explained: “The use of ImageFast  scanning has transformed our admissions process. Data input is now much faster, more accurate and user-friendly. We are also using the facility for other purposes (eg. currently for capturing responses to consultations) with similar benefits in terms of efficiency.”

The transformation witnessed in Lincolnshire is now available to all authorities in the UK thanks to Automated Admissions.
