Columbia, SC, November 07, 2025 — 

Softdocs, the leading provider of process automation and document management for education and government, announced today that Columbia College of Missouri has selected the Softdocs Platform as its trusted partner to modernize campus operations, expand electronic forms, and introduce AI-powered automation.

Columbia College is transitioning from a legacy on-premises platform to the cloud with Softdocs to bring together electronic forms, workflow automation, and document management in a single, secure platform. The college will deploy campus-wide eForms, eSignatures, and workflow automation, implement AI-assisted scanning for faster document intake, and strengthen records management through automated retention schedules. 

Our collaboration with Softdocs represents a bold step toward transforming the student experience. By embracing accessible, mobile-friendly solutions, harnessing the power of automation and AI, and leveraging the resilience of cloud technologies, we’re building a future where innovation drives efficiency and continuity across our institution.

The institution will be among the first to implement Softdocs’ new Intelligent Transcript Processing (ITP), an application powered by generative AI that extracts data from transcripts, validates it, and delivers it in a standardized format directly into the system of record. Columbia College will also integrate with Ellucian Ethos to keep student and administrative systems closely aligned. 

Columbia College is making a forward-looking investment in the future of student services. Their adoption of Intelligent Transcript Processing underscores how strategic adoption of AI can create real value in higher education, eliminating manual effort and improving data accuracy in one of the most intense processes any school goes through. We’re honored to partner with Columbia College as they lead with innovation and build a future-ready campus.
