1. Challenge to overcome
The imaging program we were using, Laserfiche, proved not to be a good fit for our needs or those of our constituency. We were looking for a replacement that would be easy to use and integrate, easy to maintain, and most of all, cost effective from the stand point of start up and client use.
2. Daeja’s solution
We ultimately built our own imaging program using ViewONE as our viewer both on our Intranet and Internet programs.
3. Benefits to New York State HPO
Internally, the time savings from providing staff with documents at their desk top, rather than having to go to and search through the physical paper files, saves hundreds of hours annually. When we launched our external program, to provide clients with the opportunity to view our National Register research files and photographs, we were the first state in the country to do so.
