Case Study: Division of the State Architect achieves doubled output with Kovair Software (Kovair ALM Studio)

How the State of California arcitect double output using Kovair ALM Studio

The Division of the State Architect (DSA) is California’s policy leader for building design and construction, overseeing plan review, construction oversight and accessibility codes for K–12 schools and community colleges. Facing time‑consuming, paper‑based issue tracking and collaboration across multiple offices — and forced to do more with fewer staff due to fiscal cuts — DSA turned to Kovair Software, implementing Kovair Software’s ALM Studio / Kovair Change Management to replace manual archives and meetings with an electronic, centralized system.

Kovair Software configured a searchable knowledge base, a repository of known issues, contextual threaded discussions, automated workflows, role‑based task generation, email alerts, metrics and an audit trail to speed issue resolution and enable 24x7 collaboration. The solution eliminated much of the manual overhead, streamlined assignments and compliance tracking, and allowed DSA to double its output while handling additional workload.
