State civil rights commissions require efficiency, transparency, and compliance; and these organizations must embrace digital transformation to improve case management and maintain regulatory standards. OnBase by Hyland is a robust enterprise content management (ECM) platform designed to streamline processes, improve case management, and enhance compliance for civil rights organizations. Here are five ways OnBase supports state civil rights commissions in achieving these goals.
1. Centralized Document Management Civil rights commissions deal with large amounts of documentation. OnBase allows agencies to securely centralize documents in a single, organized repository. This centralized approach enables authorized users to access case files, complaint records, and compliance documentation from any location. By replacing scattered paper files and siloed storage systems, OnBase improves data access and control to reduce the likelihood of lost or misplaced files and ensure that staff can access up-to-date information when needed.
2. Automated Workflow and Case Routing OnBase’s automated workflow capabilities streamline case routing and approval processes, which are crucial for effective case management. Automated workflows enable case documents to be routed to the appropriate personnel or department without manual intervention. Workflow automation speeds up case handling, reduces bottlenecks, and ensures that cases progress smoothly through each stage of the review and resolution process. As a result, agencies can manage more cases in less time, meet deadlines, and improve service delivery.
3. Enhanced Compliance and Auditability Maintaining regulatory compliance is a top priority for state civil rights commissions. OnBase includes built-in audit trails and reporting features, which provide a clear record of document access, modifications, and user actions. Audit functionality supports regulatory requirements by creating a transparent and traceable record for each case. Additionally, OnBase enables customizable security settings, so only authorized personnel have access to sensitive data. With these compliance-enhancing tools, commissions can ensure accountability and reduce the risk of non-compliance penalties.
4. Secure Mobile Access OnBase supports mobile access; so investigators, caseworkers, and other personnel can securely access and manage documents while working in the field. Mobile access is especially valuable for civil rights agencies that conduct site visits, interviews, or inspections as part of their investigations. Real-time access to case information gives staff the ability to make informed decisions on the spot, avoid duplicating work, and ensure that all interactions and updates are promptly recorded. Mobile access also improves flexibility and supports the growing demand for remote work options in government.
5. Data Integration and Reporting Effective case management and compliance often rely on integrating information from multiple sources. OnBase can integrate with other systems including case management software and document databases, so commissions can access data from different sources in one unified platform. Additionally, OnBase’s reporting capabilities provide actionable insights into case trends, processing times, and resource allocation. Comprehensive data and reporting tools help civil rights commissions identify patterns, make data-driven decisions, and improve overall operational efficiency.
