Case Study: County of Wellington cuts meeting preparation time and effort in half with eScribe Software

eSCRIBE Halves Meeting Preparation Time and Effort for County of Wellington

County of Wellington, the upper‑tier municipality in Southwest Ontario responsible for eight standing committees and roughly 90 meetings a year, was spending many days each month preparing agendas and minutes using a manual, email‑and‑PDF workflow that required re-typing recommendations and manually adding page numbers and bookmarks. To simplify processes and cut preparation time, County of Wellington adopted eScribe Software’s eSCRIBE meeting management solution.

eScribe Software implemented eSCRIBE (deployed on‑premises then migrated to its Azure cloud in four days), automating report submission, recommendation pre‑population, pagination and bookmarks, and providing workflow visibility. The result: meeting preparation time and effort were halved, staff can produce seven to eight agendas in a busy week despite late submissions, last‑minute updates now take minutes to process, and IT maintenance and upgrade effort has been reduced — delivering faster turnaround, fewer errors and better oversight.
