FolderWave, a private company based near Boston, is one of the earliest cloud-space providers for Higher Education. Businesses that serve the Higher Education enrollment management industry must be able to manage large volumes of personal data and information, prioritizing security – all in an environment where transaction volumes are highly cyclical and date sensitive. Success is further determined by an organization’s ability to deliver solutions that can be tailored to the specific needs of each institution it serves. There is tremendous variability in the process of enrollment management from one school to another. Today, FolderWave helps flagship colleges and universities like Boston College, Carnegie Mellon, Northeastern, Merrimack College, Wittenberg, Tulane, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute centralize millions of documents representing a soup-to-nuts approach to admission applications, financial aid forms, academic transcripts, contracts and grants, and practically any other paperless documentation each school wants to track.

According to Burke, a tour of the [11:11 Systems] hosting facility illuminated how well-maintained it was and how personnel respond to various issues that arise.
