Bureau of Justice Assistance, Public Safety Officer's Benefit
Program Purchases ZyLAB Solution to Manage Documents Related to
Officers Injured or Killed in the Line of Duty
May 17, 2005 - Bagshot, - ZyLAB, an innovative
developer of content management and compliance solutions for paper
intensive organizations, today announced that the Department of
Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance
(BJA) has purchased the ZyIMAGE Enterprise Webserver Suite solution.
The solution will enable the Public Safety Officer's Benefit (PSOB)
program to better manage the thousands of paper and electronic
documents it receives related to officers injured or killed in
the line of duty, and importantly, speed up the claims process.
Public Safety Officers range from Police and other
law enforcement agents to fire and rescue personnel. BJA receives,
organizes and processes thousands of pages of paper and electronic
documents that include claims forms, birth certificates, death
certificates, marriage certificates, letters, emails, spread sheets,
and other items. BJA handles death, injury as well as education
claims for family members of public safety officers. It is important
to BJA that these documents are properly filed and distributed
to the appropriate personnel for processing and equally important
to quickly retrieve documents and that the integrity of each document
is maintained.
The ZyIMAGE Enterprise Webserver Suite solution
offers users, such as BJA, with the unique ability to scan into
an open technology standard (Tiff and XML), the ability to search
documents by both text within the document and key fields, and
a solution that is fully compliant with the DoD 5015.2 standard
for records retention.
"Government organizations are looking for solutions
that are easy to use, open, and integrate with legacy systems
to improve internal and external operating efficiencies,"
said Dr. Johannes Scholtes, president of ZyLAB North America LLC.
"We are extremely pleased to be working with the PSOB program
to help ensure these brave men and women and their families are
taken care of regarding their benefits throughout times of tragedy."
