Ottawa, ON – July 19, 2006 Privasoft Corporation, the world leader in freedom of information software solutions, announced today the availability of AccessPro Case Management v.1.9. With this release, freedom of information (FOI) teams gain a flexible, easy-to-use solution for managing requests for information with a proven ability to increase the efficiency of the business process.

US government clients are particularly interested in Privasoft solutions to help implement plans for responding to Executive Order 13392 for improving agency disclosure of information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).  

Among the guidelines recommended by the Department of Justice for improving FOIA processes are: automating processes, using automated tracking capabilities and receiving/responding to requests electronically to improve FOIA request handling procedures. Agencies such as the Department of Labor, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Department of Commerce and Social Security Administration are all considering the increased use of information technology to meet these guidelines.

AccessPro Case Management v.1.9 includes greater administrative control so that FOI Officers can be confident they are consistently applying freedom of information legislation while they use AccessPro Redaction to ensure no sensitive information is released.

AccessPro Case Management continues to form the backbone of the AccessPro Suite of FOI technologies, rounding off the features available in AccessPro Redaction and AccessPro Workgroup. With the AccessPro Suite, customers report processing more requests with fewer resources. They also benefit from:

• Securely and electronically severing sensitive information from documents;
• Generating reports easily with built-in reporting;
• Accessing audit trails for greater visibility into business processes;
• Obtaining better administrative control;
• Ensuring consistent application of freedom of information laws;
• Employing enhanced search functions;
• Maintaining greater control over fee handling process;
• Spell-checking content for better release of information.

"AccessPro Case Management has been built from the ground up to adapt to the unique needs of all freedom of information teams" explains Jacques Renaud, CEO, Privasoft. "We are encouraged by the enthusiasm our solution is receiving from FOIA teams looking to improve processes under Executive Order 13392".
