Agency Picks Virginia Firm To Perform Upgrades
The federal government has
contracted with Integic Corporation upgrade the FAA's Civil
Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) for the modernization of the
agency's airman certification program.
Under an earlier agreement with CAMI, Integic led the
development of the agency's Document Imaging Workflow System
(DIWS), which provides CAMI with an automated and secure system for
electronically submitting, managing and processing the medical
certification applications that are required of all pilots who fly
in U.S. airspace and all air traffic controllers (ATCs) cleared to
direct air traffic. The new agreement with a fully booked value of
$12M covers additional integration and enhancements of DIWS and
several supporting modules also developed by Integic, such as the
Covered Position Decision Support Subsystem (CPDSS), the Aviation
Medical Examiner Information Subsystem (AMEIS) and the Clinic and
Health Awareness Program Subsystem (CHAPS). These modules
collectively represent a comprehensive, integrated, and secure data
store associated with aerospace medicine.
"Like many organizations, CAMI recognizes the central role that
Business Process Management technology plays in meeting their
strategic objectives," said Carl Lucas, Integic's project manager
for the CAMI engagement. "With our e.POWER(R) solution having
already demonstrated the flexibility and functionality needed to
address CAMI's specific requirements, we're delighted by the
opportunity to help further refine and optimize their operations.
Leveraging our modular architecture and in-depth understanding of
their mission, Integic is uniquely qualified to help CAMI
streamline their processes with additional gains in efficiency
allowing them to better address their growing operational
requirements."
Confronted with the need to maintain up-to-date certification of
the physical fitness of more than 650,000 airmen and 40,000 ATCs,
CAMI faced an onslaught of paperwork, including 2,000 daily
applications and 190,000 pages of related material monthly, as
these certifications need to be updated every six to 36 months.
Working with Integic, CAMI implemented the first automated system
-- DIWS -- for addressing this need which allows remotely based
Aviation Medical Examiners to electronically submit the requisite
forms certifying medical fitness so that CAMI administrators can
manage and approve certifications and clearances. DIWS incorporates
millions of hard copy documents dating back to 1960 into a central
repository of digital documents and data.
