Company awarded $12 million contract to upgrade and enhance paperless processing system

Integic Corporation, a software applications firm out of Chantilly (VA) has been awarded a $12 million, 3-year contract by the FAA to upgrade and enhance software and systems it has developed to convert the FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Institute into a paperless organization -- at least where it concerns pilot and air traffic controller medical certification.

CAMI, headed by Dr. Jon Jordan, processes medical paperwork for more than 650,000 private, commercial and airline transport pilots in the US, as well as 40,000 air traffic controllers. This new contract is a continuation of a previous contract in which Integic developed a document imaging and workflow system for CAMI. The system is presently used as an automated, secure system for handling all aspects of medical certification applications and supporting paperwork.

So far, the system has been loaded with millions of documents dating back to the 1960's, in digital form. It currently allows medical examiners to submit medical certification paperwork electronically. The new contract calls for Integic to supply additional integration and enhancement services as well as additional modules developed for the system.

“The system makes all of it essentially a paperless system, and lets FAA keep all paper in a data warehouse,” said Paul Taltavull, Integic’s vice president and practice area leader for civilian, state and local markets, in an article published by Washington Technology. “Whenever a pilot has an accident, the [National] Transportation Safety Board can have access to the system instead of going to a warehouse in Oklahoma.”
