Handle investigations without breaking your budget

Universities and colleges trust Nextpoint for investigations, records management, and public records response — with enterprise-grade security, automated workflows, and pricing that fits education budgets.

The Higher Education Challenge

Your time, your budget, and your students’ privacy are precious

Challenge 01

Stretched budgets and limited staff

Most enterprise software platforms cost more than most institutions can justify, while overworked IT staff lack specialized ediscovery expertise. You need sophisticated capabilities that respect institutional funding realities.

Challenge 02

Protecting student data

Title IX investigations, student conduct matters, and employment disputes require searching sensitive communications. Balancing disclosure requirements with student privacy protection creates constant compliance risk.

Challenge 03

Managing explosive data growth

ESI sprawls across learning management systems, Microsoft 365, mobile devices, and collaboration tools. Finding relevant evidence means searching dozens of disconnected platforms under tight investigation timelines.

Challenge 04

Responding to public records requests

Public universities face mounting public records requests with strict deadlines. Searching faculty emails, redacting student information, and producing responses drains staff time.

Nextpoint's most attractive quality is not its numerous industry-leading features; it's the first-class, personalized support provided by its competent and kind team. For small firms like ours, feeling valued by your software partner is just as important as the software fulfilling its purpose.
