Getting With The Times
Posted by Servscen on July 24, 2009
I work at a county court office. I don’t think it is a good idea to say where or which one in this forum. Not that I’m going to say anything bad or incriminating though. It’s not a bad job either. The pay isn’t that great, but the benefits rock. Plus we have every holiday that you can imagine off!
One of the things that we do is maintain public records. As the name implies, these records must be available to the public. But you used to have to jump through burning hoops to retrieve these records. You literally had to come into our office and fill out a public records request. Then we would physically chase down specific files and make copies. Well this is the information age. It was time that we get with the times.
We needed to go digital. But there was literally a basement full of court documents. Yea, I’ll run right down there and start scanning them in! We needed a document scanning solution which did not involve our small staff. We ended up outsourcing to a document imaging service. They came here and did all of the work for us. And now our public records are even available online.
