With twelve offices and 1800 employees throughout
California, the Water Board found the manual processing and tracking
of its documents to be slow and error prone. Time accounting is critical
to the Water Board's programs and to the fiscal managers who assess
program progress and manage funding. The eTimesheet application provides
the Water Board with a real time, web-enabled solution that meets
the need for timely, accurate information.
"Moving to electronic timesheets will reap substantial improvements
in our ability to quickly capture data and resolve errors,"
said Bill Brown, DAS Chief. "Our employees and managers have
long sought an automated timesheet process. Until Bizflow, automating
processes appeared unachievable because most other solutions we
investigated were costly and had long development cycles. The efficiency
of creating applications in Bizflow has changed our perception and
we are excited about the benefits we can achieve using it to automate
a wide range of administrative processes. Another important consideration
is the benefit to the environment from the reduction in the paper
documents we maintain."
"With most government procedures driven by laws and regulations,
government agencies are looking for technology solutions to standardize
processes and improve operations," said Stuart Claggett, chief
operating officer of HandySoft. "As a result, a growing number
of federal and state government agencies have turned to BizFlow
to help support important e-government initiatives, including enhanced
correspondence tracking, e-grant management, enterprise HR modernization,
procurement process improvement, product life-cycle management for
capital requisition requests, and security clearance automation."
The growing list of clients using BizFlow includes the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the National Institute
of Health (NIH), the National Institute for Standards and Technology
(NIST) and the U.S. Patent and Trade Office (USPTO).
"This project showcases how we can create and deploy an application
that saves the State money and frees an Agency from the stranglehold
of paper based manual processes and antiquated legacy systems,"
said Database Republic CTO, Victor Gamolsky.
A phased rollout of the Water Board's eTimesheet application has
begun and is already deployed in two SWRCB regions.
