Onward has supported the Village of Skokie's needs for various IT hardware and networking services over the years. The Village had been using a legacy version of Hummingbird DOCS Open and wanted to avail themselves of the performance capabilities and new features of the Hummingbird DM5 platform. "Our users wanted to be able to collaborate more effectively, manage documents more efficiently and enhance their productivity. We turned to the experts at Onward to deliver a better document management solution that protected and incorporated our existing data," said Iqbal Kalota, Village of Skokie acting MIS Director. Onward developed a multi-phased, systematic approach to hardware and software selection, layered software installation, existing data migration and IT staff administrative training. Post-project support will ensure the Village gets the maximum benefits from Hummingbird's document management solution and Onward's partnership.
