 capabilities, and easy integration with CCA's existing systems technologies optimize optimize - optimisation  utilization across the organization, dramatically increasing staff efficiencies. Corrigo's KnowledgeBase(TM), captures valuable data about service operations and allow organizations to leverage best practices across the organization. And by choosing to implement CorrigoNet using Corrigo's ASP option, CCA is able to eliminate much of the expense associated with maintenance and upkeep of traditional IT server hardware.

"Corrections represent one of the fastest-growing state budget items, accounting for at least 5% of spending in more than one-third of the states. Government is turning to the private sector, to organizations like CCA, to assist with providing more affordable correctional services. We anticipate the savings CCA will recognize from improved efficiencies alone will more than cover costs -- and that doesn't take into account the IT-related savings resulting from our ASP option," says Rick Michaux, president of Corrigo. "CorrigoNet allows CCA to better meet the needs of its customers, while driving best practices, process improvement and cost reduction."

Corrigo's comprehensive mobile service management solutions help organizations transition manual and paper-based processes to more streamlined methods, driving improvements in staff utilization, vendor management and asset performance. Management gains valuable insight into the maintenance function, enabling better-informed decision-making, and ultimately, improved operating efficiencies and expense reduction throughout the organization.
