•Guest Column: Bidding, Purchasing, Execution: Streamline Municipal Government Purchasing With EDM And Workflow

By Laurel Sanders, Optical Image Technology

Purchasing the most suitable goods and services for the lowest cost requires significant information gathering and analysis. Some regulations govern the bidding process; others guard against vendor favoritism, fraud, and waste. Township, borough, and home-rule codes add to the complexity. The result: too many dollars saved in smart purchasing are spent on sniffing out the path to get there.

Imagine setting business rules electronically so the right work could be delivered to the right people at the right time. No more time spent frantically searching for information to meet a deadline or to respond to companies, builders' associations, or public inquiries. No more lost documents or delays due to staff illnesses, vacations, or oversights. No paper shuffling or multiple electronic searches. All of your business data would be available in one location, driving smarter decisions. Tasks would be prioritized for you so nothing is missed.

Fortunately, it's not a pipe dream. Web-based EDM and workflow tie all of your information together, delivering true efficiency—whenever you need it, wherever you are.
