Document Management Technology Enables El Dorado Irrigation District to Slash Paper Records, Improve Employee Efficiency, and Meet Records Management Requirements

Tags:
document management

Overview El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) provides a unique combination of water-based services including drinking water, wastewater treatment, recycled water for landscape irrigation, hydropower generation, and recreation areas. For them walking among the buildings to find documents was time-consuming and inefficient. Therefore, multiple copies of most paper documents existed, with little records. EID's digital processes also lacked controls. File server contents grew from 500,000 files to 775,000 files in less than two years, but no naming or organization discipline was adopted. Users arbitrarily moved folders, other users could not find folders, and security was loose. EID deployed a windows-based, secure document management system with full-text indexing and audit trail that resolved compliance issues.
