Small Company Category (1 – 100 employees)
End-User: Charles Town Police Department
Vendor: Oracle Corporation and EDAC Systems, Inc.
Charles Town Police Department decided to modernize its Investigative Case Management and Automated Evidence Tracking and Inventory System using Business Process Management (BPM), Content Management, Bar codes, and other technologies. Officers were manually entering information numerous times on forms. With the implementation of CaseFLOW, all case information, leads, and approvals are entered into the system, which dynamically tracked the activities. Charles Town Police Department was able to increase efficiency and effectiveness in collecting and storing evidence and was better able to track where the evidence was at any given time, providing an auditable chain of custody for the evidence.
Medium Company Category (101 – 1000 employees)
End-User: American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
Vendor: Diversified Information Technologies (DIT)
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) is the national professional association of CPAs, with more than 360,000 CPA members. AICPA manually processed a growing volume of incoming mail from its members, partners, and vendors. Through the use of Diversified Information Technologies’ Digital Mailroom, AICPA employees now access their work through a secure web-based application. AICPA realized benefits immediately since this was a SaaS implementation with no upfront investment needed.
Large Company Category (1001 + employees)
End-User: Bureau of Indian Affairs
Vendor: Oracle Corporation and Mythics, Inc.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) supported all the government functions of a small country without being connected to the Internet. BIA wanted to modernize and meet the OCIO’s core mission to deliver the right information to the right users through the use of distributed management tools. Through the use of distributed content management tools and services from Oracle and Mythics, BIA is able to deliver quality services to its over 2 million customers, foster collaboration amongst BIA and Department of Interior employees, and make quality content available to their customers.
