The data management and documents is extraordinary, from maintaining a court systems, birth and death records, and deeds of trust, to managing trash pickup and recycling programs as well as hazardous waste disposal. The 14 different document management system attending more than 70 agencies which none could communicate or interact with each other was the main problem to solve among others in this more than 600,000 habitants city.

The system that this special IT group would proposed will be the one that be able to fix the problems caused by all 14 management systems, and be a cost-effective solution at the same time.
