Case Studies

Chatham County Improves Engineering Services Process with Records Management Pilot Project

In 2007, the Association County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG) conducted a survey on records management for county governments across the state. The universal issue that emerged was how to effectively manage the process of capturing, storing, protecting, and producing county records. In December 2008, ACCG teamed up with Microsoft, Abel Solutions, KnowledgeLake, and Fujitsu to develop two demonstration projects to showcase integrated records management solutions. Chatham County was invited to participate in this opportunity and chose to work with the Microsoft® Records Management Preferred Partner Program. With its new Microsoft Office SharePoint® Server–based solution, the county now has improved its ability to access key documents, streamlined operational workflow, and introduced greater transparency into the records management process for both county employees and taxpayers.
