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.
