Case Study: Essex Police achieves fast, efficient information retrieval with Soutron

Soutron Delivers Timely and Relevant Information Management Solution

Essex Police needed a better way to manage the huge volumes of documentation handled by its central registry, including legislation, policy, research papers, correspondence, and Home Office circulars. Existing information management systems had fallen short because they were too slow to search, had limits on files per record, or lacked imaging capabilities. Soutron was brought in to provide a more efficient information management solution.

Soutron implemented a flexible system that let Essex Police customize record fields, store unlimited text, and scan and link documents directly to records for quick retrieval. The solution also helped staff rapidly sort and purge documents that needed destroying, reducing manual “weeding out” and improving control over current information. As a result, registry users found searches very fast even across large databases, while the force reduced paper handling and storage needs.
