BFO e-Filing system saves Attorney Generals office time, energy and money

London, England, 16 May 2006- BFO (Big Faceless Organization) provide a solid solution for the government of British Columbia. Is your business still trying to file documents manually, creating bottlenecks resulting in wasted resources? If it is, you are not alone and there is a 21 century answer: Electronic or E-Filing.

An electronic filing system was successfully implemented by the British Columbia Ministry of the Attorney Generals office to improve workflow and streamline the old manual process. Prior to E-Filing the only way for civil court litigants to file documents was to physically bring the paper documents to court. Once presented to court staff, the documents would be examined for completeness. Documents that were considered acceptable would be stamped (rubber and ink stamps) and signed.

With the introduction of electronic filing, litigants were able to submit PDF documents via the internet. A solution was then required to find electronic versions of the hard copy signing process. The Ministry of Attorney General office uses Oracle Forms and required a complementary Java based library. The Big Faceless PDF Library was the outstanding candidate - chosen for its ability to digitally sign PDF documents and offering speed and flexibility, it neatly replaced the time consuming old set up.

Originally the project required that the visual component of the signature and any stamps would always appear in the same place on each document. As the project progressed the requirements changed and users needed the ability to select the location of the stamps and signatures, this was made possible with the Big Faceless PDF Viewer Extension. "BFO impressed us...the viewer rendered more accurate images than the competitors. Specifically, (BFO), was the only Java library we could find that properly rendered the visual component of digital signatures." said the client.

The integration of the Big Faceless PDF Library and Viewer allowed the Ministry of the Attorney Generals office to develop a custom control which supported signing and stamping within Oracle Forms. The alternative? The users would have been forced to use an awkward, error prone workflow.
