We've been adding a lot of new features to the MIS2000 web app and I'll be covering some of the other big ones in future blog entries, but today I'd like to talk about using the web in your COE verification and approval processs. Most states use the MIS2000 tablet system and almost all of them use the approval process. Until recently, the entire approval COE process had to be carried out in the old desktop application. Most verifiers just review the data on the COE and then either reject it or send it on up the chain with remarks. There's really no editing involved, so for many of them, having a full desktop install of MIS2000 is way more than they need.

This was definitely true in Vermont where state director Mary Mulloy was sharing a desktop install just to get approvals done. So we added a simple way for Mary to review in-process COEs just like viewing any COE in the web app.

And now Mary can review and approve COEs without an MIS2000 installation from anywhere with just a browser.

We've implemented this for one other state which shall remain nameless for the moment, but if you'd like to ditch your desktop and start approving COEs in the web, let us know and we'll get the work queued up.
