Introducing an exciting new partnership with Access MBA

Access MBA is a premium provider of MBA fairs with unique one-on-one sessions between candidates and admissions officers.

I am proud to announce this new strategic partnership with Access MBA from the Advent Group. The synergies between our two entities are natural: with its MBA fairs and magazines, Access MBA is a key instigator of relevant physical meetings between prospects and MBA Programmes; Etheryl typically provides the subsequent building blocks to process and manage those candidates with NetApply CRM and NetVestibule.
As part of this partnership, Etheryl will supply the technology to power the new Access MBA Network, a premium community platform that will extend candidate-to-candidate and candidate-to-institution interactions before and after the actual fairs. Naturally, we will be leveraging our award-winning NetVestibule engine to drive this platform.
My team and I look forward to a long and fruitful collaboration with Christophe Coutat and his team.

Featured customer: Manchester Business School

Today we would like to salute Manchester Business School and their admissions and alumni team. Indeed, over the past 12-15 months, MBS has embraced our original vision of a Student Lifecycle Continuum, and is on the brink to unveil one of the first if not the only true continuum worthy of such definition. Initially, the MBA admissions team selected NetApply to replace its former provider; the distance learning branch (MBS Worldwide) also picked up a license of NetApply. Then NetVestibule was introduced to welcome the select MBA candidates admitted by the AdCom, but also to help transform them into students and therefore increase the so-important yield. Later, they introduced our pre-applicant inquiry form that helps identify hot-prospects in order to entice them to apply with a personalized and pre-filled PDF application. Within a month, MBS will be rolling out our NetVestibule for Alumni module, gradually servicing up to 20 000 alumni...

We are thrilled to be working with MBS and look forward to visiting them in the great city of Manchester which is just an hour away from Paris by plane.

NetApply Testimonial

I recently applied to a selection of Top MBA programs: Harvard Business School, Kellogg School of Management, Columbia Business School, IMD and INSEAD.
The PDF-based application system proposed by Etheryl for INSEAD is the most convenient for the applicant:
-I was able to work on my application offline
-considering the effort needed to submit a good application and the restricted amount of time at my disposal, I was glad to have the application file handy at anytime, from an "enhanced" editable PDF.
-The ability to submit an electronic signature is also a plus as it ensures a stronger level of security for both the University and the applicant
-The added flexibility for the recommenders: they can access, edit, save and submit their recommendations online.
-The online application status for the applicant is convenient as well as the ability to attach -and modify- a picture to the file.

As an applicant to INSEAD, I was extremely pleased by the overall application experience and the sophistication of the electronic tools.

INSEAD and Manchester Business School replace their former application system with NetApply

Europe - INSEAD and Manchester Business School both chose NetApply to replace their former application system. At INSEAD, NetApply is now the mandatory application front for all their MBA programme candidates. The traditionally static PDF or printed brochure now gives way to a fully editable and electronic equivalent that can be worked on by the candidates "offline". Once completed, the file is uploaded securely and consolidated with the back-office system, along with recommendation forms, electronic payment, etc...
