The Information Management Commission <br />recommended that any document imaging program be implemented by contracting for all image capture of historic documents to <br />be completed in one year, to enjoy the benefits as soon as possible. The Department has performed an analysis of alternatives, <br />including the no action alternative, and found this process to be feasible. <br /> <br />Justification: <br /> <br />IMAGING: <br />1. The water records section currently receives 45,500 internal requests for documents and 45,500 public requests for documents <br />annually. Both public and internal document retrieval efficiency can be improved. Re-filing is eliminated when documents are <br />delivered as electronic images. <br />2. Simultaneous access to document images by multiple users, both internally and by the public, will greatly improve the efficiency <br />of internal workflow, including application processing and other types of approvals. <br />3. Transferring documents into electronic images will allow off-site backup of the electronic storage media, thus eliminating the <br />risk of loss. <br />4. Improved access to vital oil and gas information will enable oil and gas operators to more efficiently and effectively develop <br />the state's energy resource base. This increased access will greatly benefit the oil and gas industry i3S well as the economy and <br />citizens of the state of Colorado. <br /> <br />SOFTWARE ENHANCEMENTS: <br />A Computer Team consisting of SBLC personnel (commissioner, Denver staff and field staff) was formed to analyze the existing <br />data base software, determine the needs of the agency and work with the consultant who completed the study recommending the <br />modifications, upgrades and enhancements necessary to improve agency efficiency and provide current and accurate information <br />to the customers of the agency. <br /> <br />This project is a joint development effort between the COGCC, the SBLC and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) <br />Information Technology Services (ITS) section to upgrade to the current generation of computer technology and to continue to move <br />all DNR agencies to compatible computer systems for ease in sharing information. <br /> <br />50 <br />
