Assumption University Selects Softdocs as the Digital Infrastructure for Modern Financial Aid and Campus Operations

Columbia, SC, February 24, 2026 — 

Softdocs, the leading provider of process automation and document management for education and government, announced today that Assumption University in Worcester, MA, has selected the Etrieve platform as the digital infrastructure to modernize Financial Aid and advance long-term administrative operations across campus. 

The university chose the full Etrieve platform to replace legacy systems Perceptive Content and Docusign. This decision consolidates document management, forms, workflow automation, and eSignatures into a secure, integrated environment to establish a consistent approach for managing critical administrative processes. 

Assumption will begin implementation within the Financial Aid office, where accuracy and timely service matter for the student experience and compliance matters for institutional accountability. Once live, the university plans to integrate Etrieve with Ellucian Colleague and extend the platform across campus, including Human Resources, where Etrieve will also integrate with Paylocity.

 

Our students and their families are at the center of everything we do. Partnering with Softdocs will help us to serve them better by making their experience easier and more efficient. We want them to be spending time on research papers, not paperwork.

Jason Cahoon, Chief Information Officer Assumption University

 

Softdocs provides Assumption with a centralized platform driving high-volume, document-driven processes. Staff reduce manual tasks and manage workflows with higher productivity, while students gain clearer and more timely access to essential financial aid services. 

Institutions cannot afford fragmented systems when service delivery, compliance, and trust are at stake. Assumption’s decision reflects a clear move toward infrastructure that supports reliable operations to sustain the university’s mission. We are proud to partner with Assumption as they build a stronger foundation for campus services.

Adam Park, CEO Softdocs

Assumption University’s approach reflects a broader shift across higher education as institutions adopt a new generation of best-in-class cloud platforms and consolidate outdated IT sprawl. With Etrieve, Assumption transforms modern administrative infrastructure to support the university well into the future.
