The Denver 311 application, which Zia created for the City of Denver,  has just been released  on the Apple App Store. Zia integrated Alfresco with the city’s call center and CRM technology and created a metadata form that can be filled out online or through an iPhone, or iPad application. Once submitted, a ticket is created in the CRM system and a city worker is assigned to investigate. 311 requests can be resolved faster while keeping the citizen who reported the item updated on the resolution.

Together Zia and Denver plan to make more city services and processes available online or through mobile applications. As Denver’s CIO Chuck Fredrick said:

“We are able to quickly roll out new services and automate city processes with the help of Zia and Alfresco. In the Technology Services Group, we are continuously looking for ways to make the city more open, efficient and easier for citizens to engage with.”

You can also read a Case Study about our project with the City of Denver here.

We have  just shared some of our recent slide decks on Slideshare.  You can now find Zia’s presentations from Alfresco Devcon as well as the presentation from yesterday’s webinar , “An End to End Solution for Financial Services”.

Enjoy!

Zia’s own Pat Myers, Ephesoft and ECM guru, will be presenting a webinar addressing an end to end solution of interest to Financial Services.  He will show the Ephesoft setup details required to classify mortgage documents,  index the documents and utilize Alfresco records Management for storage. This will provide an excellent chance to understand the role of Kodak Capture Pro integration with Ephesoft and Ephesoft’s integration with Alfresco.  Here is an abstract  of the webinar:

An End to End Solution for Financial Services

Utilizing Alfresco RM for storage and Ephesoft’s Intelligent Document Capture for automatic document classification, assembly and data extraction, this webinar will include a demonstration showing how the tight integration of Alfresco, Ephesoft and Kodak Capture Pro can create an end-to-end solution for the handling of Mortgage documents.

The topics covered are easily extendable to other document types and workflows of interest to the Financial Services Industry.
