The <br />system will support the both the Division of Wildlife and Division of Parks and Outdoor <br />Recreation. The key business areas to be impacted by CORIS include Customer Information, <br />Over the Counter Hunting and Fishing Licensing, Limited Licensing, Surveys and Statistics, <br />Special Licenses; Cash Management, Campground Reservations and Boat RegistraIions. <br /> <br />Progress: <br />Significant developmenIs since the previous status report include the following iIems: <br /> <br />· Project staffing has been largely completed. Project team personnel have come from <br />the Division of Wildlife and the Department of Natural Resources Information <br />Technology Services Section. Additional project personnel have been acquired <br />through the state award for Over-flow Programming Services. The award has yielded <br />individuals with significant experience in boIh business and technical areas appropriate <br />for this project. <br /> <br />· A data capture facility has been established for the project. A bid specification for <br />scanning equipment, hand print character recognition software, and technical expertise <br />has been awarded, The scanning system is scheduled for installation later this month. <br /> <br />· New license forms have been issued for sale throughout the State. Over 750 State <br />and private sector license agenIs have received 1994 license stock, The 1994 licenses <br />represent a significanI sIep forward as the hand printed data will be scanned into <br />CORIS.
