THREE FOOTBALL PITCHES OF PAPER SAVED BY EASTLEIGH BOROUGH COUNCIL USING IDOX 
 
 
  *  Hampshire residents now receive a faster, more comprehensive response to revenue 
  and benefit enquiries 
 
 
 
  *  Integration key to Eastleigh Borough Council's selection of IDOX as part of its 
  long-term IT strategy 
 
 
 
IDOX group (AIM:IDOX), the leading developer and supplier of software solutions 
and information services to local government, today announced the successful 
delivery and implementation of a contract to provide a fully integrated and 
scalable Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS) to Eastleigh 
Borough Council (EBC). 
 
 
Eastleigh required an EDRMS to improve the efficiency of its services by 
speeding up document retrieval and reducing the use of paper. 
 
 
The project involved transferring the paper-based records of EBC's Revenues and 
Benefits Unit onto a customised IDOX workflow and storage system. Following the 
successful completion of the Revenues pilot in November 2008, the Benefits team 
will go-live in April this year. Once live, it will mark the first time that an 
IDOX system has been integrated fully with Academy Software - a core revenues 
and benefits back-office solution from Capita. 
 
 
According to Loraine Radford, Head of Revenues and Benefits, EBC, the council is 
now delivering significantly improved services to residents. 
 
 
Radford, who is also Chair of the Academy Southern User Group, said: "It is 
already evident that efficiency has improved through the way in which we can now 
manage and prioritise our workload more effectively. 
 
 
Staff have embraced the system and morale has noticeably improved since we 
started using IDOX." 
 
 
The IDOX system has already demonstrated a rapid return on investment, with 
council staff now able to access and edit documents almost instantly online, 
compared with the delays of the old paper-based regime. 
 
 
EBC has scanned and transferred over 480,000 pages of information to the EDRMS, 
avoiding the drawbacks of hard-copy filing and saving the equivalent of over 
three large football pitches of paper. 
 
 
Commenting on the implementation, Richard Kellett-Clarke, CEO, IDOX group said: 
"We are pleased that EBC is now realising the benefits of the EDRMS through 
improved efficiency gains, and are rolling it out across other key departments 
within the council." 
 
 
Scalability was a key factor in EBC's decision to partner with IDOX to deliver a 
corporate-wide solution. Since implementation, work has already begun to expand 
the system into the Development Control and Human Resources Units. 
 
 
Eastleigh Borough Council serves a population of 120,000 with approximately 
51,000 properties and 3,000 businesses. The Borough is situated in central 
southern Hampshire and borders the eastern edge of Southampton City Council 
together with the District Authorities of Fareham, Test Valley and Winchester.
