Earthwon Business Value

There are several reasons that make Earthwon your best choice for an enterprise environmental regulatory solution:

• Flexibility to adapt quickly to organizational, business or regulatory change – Because Earthwon is 100% configurable, once your system is in production, Computronix or your trained staff are able to add or modify Earthwon “configurations” quickly. This can be done to support new or changing business processes, thereby extending the life of the system and maximizing your return on investment. Configuration changes usually take a matter of hours or days, not weeks or months.

• Your processes, your way – Earthwon allows you to preserve (and improve where needed) existing business process functionality, fees, workflows, and business rules. Implementing a new system based on familiar business processes and terminology reduces your staff training time while increasing and expediting staff acceptance. Furthermore, Earthwon can integrate with existing legacy systems if you want to defer the cost and effort of data conversion.

• Your system, not someone else’s – Earthwon isn’t a fixed solution using business rules defined by a vendor or another jurisdiction. Earthwon is configured to meet your business needs, with no changes to underlying technology or source code. As a business process management tool, our software has no equal. Business rules are configured in Earthwon, and all end user windows, tabs, fields, and reports are generated in real-time based on your business rules.

• One-stop data entry and access – Earthwon helps to reduce data errors and rework, and improves resource utilization to increase completed work and customer satisfaction. Regardless of location, data is recorded only once and shared, improving the quality of your data and the business decisions based on that data. Security privileges define who gets to access and use each part of the system, down to each individual data field. Paper documentation is reduced or eliminated altogether because all data and documents related to a business process are stored in centrally.

• Automated workload management – To manage work, Earthwon uses a “To-Do” list motif, which enables each user to keep track of their assigned tasks. Tasks can be automatically assigned based on geographic territory, zip/postal code or process type, etc., or manually assigned by a supervisor or dispatcher. Supervisors can also rebalance workloads between staff, if required. Earthwon can capture time spent on activities, as well as mileage and expense data. This allows managers or supervisors to capture data for end-of-day reporting, performance and statistical review, or trend analysis.

• Improve and manage operational processes – Staff are able to quickly determine what stage any work activity (e.g. a permit, inspection, or enforcement task) is at, and which person is currently working on it. Earthwon is configured to automatically create next steps in a business process based on outcomes, and forward those tasks to the appropriate staff.

• Involve all stakeholders – Earthwon can be used regardless of who the stakeholders are, where they are located, or their level of involvement. It makes no difference whether they are involved in the workflow or just citizens accessing information or filing a complaint. Access and available information are determined by security levels so users can only do and see what you allow them to do and see.

• Enable your mobile workforce – Staff, such as inspectors, need to do their work, participate in the business process, and share data while in the field. Earthwon enables mobile users to complete work in real-time or near real time using current and historical information to make informed decisions. Our clients tell us that Earthwon has the most powerful mobile computing architecture and solution relative to integrated systems.

• Audit trail capabilities – In Earthwon, all data and changes to work are recorded along with who made the changes and when. This enables organizations to provide a full audit trail of work for accountability or transparency purposes.

• Turn-key and/or enablement solution – Computronix staff are able to install the Earthwon database, configure the Earthwon system, build or modify operational and management reports, set up security groups, interface Earthwon with other systems, convert data, deliver training and provide startup assistance and ongoing support – all from a single, accountable vendor.
