U.S. Department of State Saves Taxpayers Millions

Cerenade eForms Technology Empowers Compliance and Huge Savings

You've probably never heard of technology company Cerenade. But if you're a taxpayer, you've been positively impacted by them. That's because over the past decade, the U.S. Department of State has been using Cerenade's eForms technology to save tax payers millions of dollars. It's a government agency success story of increased efficiency leading to cost savings while improving workflow and function.

Even before they needed to ensure compliance with the Government Paperwork Elimination Act, the U.S. Department of State started looking for a paperless solution that would be highly secure, work across vast geographic locations and differences, allow for ease of information sharing, and empower diverse agency functions. They also needed to make sure their forms were available for other interagencies to conduct business with the U.S. Department of State, utilize electronic signatures to increase department-wide efficiency, and effectively manage approval processes so as to not adversely impact the sensitivity of the mission.

After reviewing several options, the State Department chose Cerenade to meet their needs.

"We want to empower all government agencies to save taxpayer dollars while improving their effectiveness and ability to meet their objectives," says Cerenade President and Co-Founder, Phillip Yadidian. "We can provide security, efficiency and cost-saving, all while making workflow safer and easier."

In addition to saving American taxpayers $3.5 million dollars annually, implementing Cerenade eForms has allowed the State Department to strengthen consular and management capabilities, implement a centralized forms management program, build automated, effective business workflows integrating eForms, and meet obligations required by Presidential directives and regulations. They have also been able to meet their internal goal of improving efficiency and effectiveness.

Cerenade's eForms solution at U.S. Department of State supports over 68,000 employees worldwide (270 overseas posts and domestic facilities), manages over 1,700 electronic forms, and supports the Bureau's offices by automating their complex business processes into easy-to-use eForms-centric workflows.

Cerenade is also in use at four NASA Centers: Ames Research Center, Dryden Flight Research Center, Glenn Research Center, and Goddard Space Flight Center. It offers NASA a single form that can handle a series of complicated workflow scenarios and approval processes while providing the security that sensitive material requires

In addition to federal agencies, Cerenade works with private corporations to implement eForms technology to improve work flow, as well as state and local governments to improve efficiency, transparency and save tax payer dollars.
