Case Study: City of Palo Alto achieves paperless procurement and $38,400 annual savings with SKYSITE Technologies

City of Palo Alto - Customer Case Study

The City of Palo Alto’s Purchasing and Contract Administration, responsible for procurement across all departments including the city’s utilities and more than 2,000 contracts, was overwhelmed by paper files, limited resources, and time-consuming record searches. To modernize their records and reduce costs they selected SKYSITE Technologies and its cloud-based product SKYSITE FACILITIES to replace paper processes and centralize information.

SKYSITE Technologies implemented SKYSITE FACILITIES to provide cloud storage, OCR-powered search, and workflow access from any device, which led to a 20% reduction in print activity, saved about 3,840 staff hours annually (eight employees × two hours/day × 240 days), and roughly $38,400 per year. The change sped document retrieval from days to minutes, cleared office clutter, boosted morale, and helped the office become effectively paperless.
