The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) empowers citizens to access government records, shedding light on how their tax dollars are spent, how decisions are made, and how agencies are performing. But for federal agencies tasked with fulfilling a record-high number of requests, It can be a nightmare.
Manual processing methods and legacy systems are sinking federal agencies in a sea of records. Juggling a separate eDiscovery platform only adds to the chaos. Of course, the burden of FOIA isn’t just paperwork. Clunky workflows, exorbitant costs, and processing delays become unwelcome companions. It all totals up to countless hours wasted on tedious tasks, risk of appeals and litigation due to redaction errors, and missed deadlines that can erode public trust. Imagine the frustration of citizens waiting months for basic information, while agency staff drown in emails, spreadsheets, and outdated software.
There’s a Better Way to Deal With FOIA Requests
At Casepoint, we’ve been paying close attention to the FOIA landscape and listening to our agency partners share how they believe the process should work. After months of putting this feedback to work, we’re proud to unveil Casepoint FOIA.
Casepoint FOIA is more than just a new FOIA software— it’s a complete transformation of how agencies handle FOIA requests. We have merged FOIA workflow tracking and management, a client portal, and compliance reporting with the power of our end-to-end eDiscovery platform — eliminating the need for either a limited-capability legacy solution or multiple solutions. Casepoint FOIA is built on Casepoint’s FedRAMP-Authorized cloud platform.
