BMI Imaging Shines at MSACROA 2025

Recently, the Middle States Association of Collegiate Registrars and Officers of Admission (MSACROA) hosted its annual conference from November 30 to December 3, 2025, at the Wyndham Lancaster Resort and Convention Center in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This event was a crucial gathering for professionals in admissions and records management across the Mid-Atlantic region. BMI Imaging Systems, a leader in secure digitization and management of academic records, was pleased to participate and share insights on modern trends in the industry.

Representing the company was Jake Walker, an Account Executive and expert in higher education solutions. During the conference, Walker engaged with numerous registrars and admissions officers to discuss the critical importance of transitioning physical records—such as paper documents, microfilm, and other archived materials—into secure, searchable digital formats. The talks emphasized how this digitization can not only enhance access to important student information but also significantly improve institutional governance and operational efficiency.

Walker highlighted the pressing need for institutions to access accurate student records reliably, all while maintaining adherence to their existing workflows and compliance requirements. "MSACROA provides an exceptional platform to gain insights into the unique challenges that educational institutions face," Walker explained. "By understanding these challenges, we can demonstrate how thoughtful digitization solutions can streamline access to records, making the work of admissions professionals faster, smoother, and more secure."
