Septic document management? Yep. We've got it.

When one of our phenomenal eBridge Solutions' account managers came in and said, "we need to create a marketing campaign targeted at septic and sewer companies," I'll admit, I laughed. To be fair (to me), I don't have a septic tank and don't know if I've ever even SEEN a septic tank. So, septic companies were never on my marketing radar.
Imagine my surprise, then, when today we signed our first septic tank company! And, guess where they found eBridge Solutions? The Okaloosa County Health Department environmental health web site.
Every day, septic company employees (and other service professionals) go to the Okaloosa County Health Department site to find permit information. Their Environmental Health department issues permits for new, repaired, modified and abandoned septic systems and evaluate existing systems for compliance with all local and state laws and ordinances, as needed.
Karen Arnett of Superior First Response is the owner of one of those septic companies. After logging into eBridge Solutions' document management system on Okaloosa's web site several hundred times over the past few years, she'd gotten pretty familiar with how it works, so transitioning her office to eBridge will be a snap.
And Karen isn't alone. To date, Okaloosa County, St. Lucie County and the City of Cleveland are putting permits or restaurant inspection reports into eBridge Solutions (either by scanning paper documents or printing electronic documents) so the public can quickly, easily and, best of all, inexpensively retrieve their own documents.
In an economy where every penny matters -- especially the government -- it's nice to see that people realize eBridge Solutions and document management can actually SAVE money. Touch a paper document once while scanning and then it will be forever digital and you can retrieve it from any computer with an Internet connection.
P.S. I was going to title this blog post 'Document management goes to *(#&$)' but didn't think anyone else would laugh. Would you have?
