Case Study: Toronto and Region Conservation Authority achieves 40% faster meeting preparation and maximizes resources with eScribe Software

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Maximizes Resources by Implementing a True Meeting Management Solution

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), a regional government agency responsible for protecting Toronto-area watersheds, faced an aging, custom-built agenda system that was brittle, hard to maintain, and lacked support for native attachments and web-based workflows. With roughly 90 meetings a year and limited developer access to the old code, TRCA needed a more user-friendly meeting management solution and selected eScribe Software (eSCRIBE) after evaluating several vendors.

eScribe Software implemented its eSCRIBE meeting management platform, leveraging Microsoft Word compatibility, an iPad app and responsive support to streamline agenda creation, minutes, task tracking and reporting. The switch eliminated printed agenda packages and couriering, enabled electronic access from any device, reduced meeting preparation time by about 40% and cut post-meeting task time by about 30%, and delivered measurable time and cost savings while freeing staff to focus on higher-value work.
