ProSAM Solution Suite manages financial aid operations for post-secondary educational institutions, from individual student cases to higher-volume processing. Its packaging engine handles term, annual, and aggregate limits and supports automated repackaging, BBAY Federal Loan awarding, and Return to Title IV funds. Built-in exchange support covers ISIR, Electronic Corrections, COD Common Record and Reports, NSLDS layouts, and CSS Profile. Integration Services supports near-real-time student data loading and real-time posting of authorized disbursements to student accounting systems that support XML exchange. ProSAM also integrates with student information and student accounts receivable systems. Institutions can define business rules and group security settings, while identity options include enterprise single sign-on, Microsoft Active Directory, and LDAP. The system keeps before-and-after snapshots of modifications and searchable online change logs. It can produce branded XML letters and send student communications by email or text. Sigma describes ProSAM as platform-independent across hosting environments, operating systems, and database management software, without naming specific systems. Pricing is by quote.
