The Town of Henrietta is located just outside Rochester, New York and is home to 45,000 residents. Searching for important documents in file cabinets and vaults had become a daunting task and offsite document storage was expensive. The Town implemented DocuWare to solve their paper problems. The solution met one of their main requirements − it could integrate with RPS (New York State Real Property Tax System), BAS’s Municipal Clerk Licensing System and ABBYY. Today, the Town has over half a million documents stored in DocuWare. The solution was first rolled out in the Town Clerk’s office which manages all public records. Then its use expanded to the recreation and building departments and the assessor’s office. Before DocuWare, finding documents could take days or weeks. Now retrieval is easy and happens in seconds. The Town’s achieved substantial ROI and saves $20,000 a year on paper storage alone. .

The Town Clerk's officee of the Town of Windham, New Hampshire archives documents for its 16,000 residents as well for Town departments. Until recently, state documents had to be stored on paper or microfilm. When state law approved electronic record keeping, Town Clerk Nicole Bottai launched a digitising project. With approval from the Town’s Records Retention committee, she selected DocuWare for its flexible cloud capabilities, great user reviews and proven easy learning curve. Before the office went digital, staff processed 18,000 motor vehicle registrations annually, storing all documents in labelled cardboard boxes stacked on metal shelves inside a vault room. Employees manually filed and searched for records, spending 7 to 10 days each month on filing and retrieval. With DocuWare, Bottai and her team retrieve most documents within a minute or two. To better serve its citizens, the Town Clerk’s Office plans to give residents online access to public documents through its website and bring DocuWare to other departments. .
