Municipal Fire Departments and Inspections: Document Management Organizes Critical Information

Fire departments have to respond quickly and efficiently in order to mitigate and ultimately manage disasters. Keeping detailed records of every call, incident, and work order is critical. From dispatching fire fighters to registering vehicle accidents, work order forms and other paperwork, ready access to detail is a must. If you can’t find what you need, your records might as well have gone up in flames, and your reputation along with it.

A Web-based document management system enables you to capture, store, and retrieve all of your files in one centrally searchable database, regardless of format, and to access them securely from any location. Photographs, dispatches and other communications, grievance forms, claims, video footage of fire incidents, inspection orders and reports, human resources documents, and other files are instantly available to preauthorized persons whenever they need information. By integrating your document management software with your CAD 911 system, your most vital information can be thoroughly recorded and indexed for secure and instant retrieval, providing proof of action when you need it.

Optical Image Technology’s DocFinity suite of document management and workflow software not only facilitates capture, storage, and retrieval of information; it also lets you automate your routine business processes for maximum efficiency. Standard processes that require authorizations, approvals, decisions, or signatures benefit from digital workflow and electronic signature software, helping you to process work faster, right from your desktop. Email management software ensures that your vital email communications are secure, yet searchable in the event of litigation or audits.
