mstore for Education

Arena works with many clients in the education sector, helping them with the common issues they face relating to the management, control and security of their vital documents.

In addition to our copy and print services, Arena Group has developed mstore for Education, its own electronic document and records management system (EDRMS). mstore provides a user-friendly platform to improve document management, retrieval and archiving processes, whilst adding a level of security and functionality to improve legal compliance and the security of critical files such as student records.

The software links with function or sector specific applications already in use within many education organisations (e.g. SIMS). This means it is quick to install and implement, causing minimal disruption and delivering a host of benefits.
