FileNet P8 is an integrated framework that combines industry leading content, process and connectivity capabilities in a single unified solution, delivering an application development framework specifically designed to promote ease of use, rapid application development and lower total cost of ownership. The FileNet P8 platform features a unique, scalable architecture designed to offer customers, systems integrators and solution developers the ability to quickly and easily develop customized ECM solutions.
State of Michigan Deploys FileNet P8
Customers currently using the FileNet P8 platform include the State of Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency, which is responsible for distributing $50 million in unemployment benefits weekly to the more than 700,000 constituents it serves across the state of Michigan. Faced with this level of claims, the agency had a large number of claims that required adjudication. The agency deployed FileNet P8 to help improve the efficiency, accountability, accessibility, quality and accuracy of the Unemployment Insurance Benefits program for the benefit of staff, claimants, and employers.
FileNet P8's integration of content, process and connectivity allows agency employees to respond quicker to claims since every piece of reference material is captured and linked to work items. The system escalates older work items to priority status as they age to ensure prompt processing of claims. Analytics and reporting enable management to track key performance metrics for continuous monitoring and improvement.
"FileNet P8 technology helps improve overall efficiency by streamlining our processes and providing quick access to work and the associated content," said Chris Peretto, director of Customer Service, Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency. "The Automated Work Distribution System (AWDS), which was built on top of FileNet's P8 framework, enables us to make better decisions faster and provide better customer service, streamlining the delivery of critical unemployment benefits to Michigan families in need. We anticipate our investment in FileNet P8 technology will enable us to efficiently manage our workload, have a positive impact on our Federal timeliness statistics, and eliminate a significant number of manual tasks previously required by staff."
BearingPoint and Getronics Embrace FileNet P8
