Like many other municipalities, the County of Madera, CA government needed to maintain their levels of service despite shrinking budgets and staff.
When looking at ways to lower operating costs, officials discovered that their aging, standalone print devices increased both maintenance and print costs. And, their siloed back-end workflows hampered information sharing between departments.
On top of those issues, the new shared facility the county’s departments were moving to didn’t have enough room to store the more than 100 file cabinets of paper files they had.
Building off our over 20-year relationship with the county, we worked with each department to discover their needs and concerns, and develop innovative solutions to address them.
The County of Madera, CA is located in the Central Valley and the Sierra Nevada north of Fresno county, CA.
