FTC Case Study
MicroPact’s Background Investigation (BI) updates FTC with centralized, cost-efficient, easy-to-use system.
The Federal Trade Commission’s Office of Personnel Security
conducts background investigations for all new and
transferred employees, as well as contractors, before they
can begin work. Whether investigating basic or high-level
clearances, tracking and reporting on cases involves
manipulating and storing large amounts of data.
The FTC knew they needed to find an alternative to the cumbersome, decentralized, spreadsheet and paper system they were using. They had researched systems used by other departments, but were frustrated to find that these would not fit into their technical environment. Any system they found that might fit would first require laborious and expensive programming changes.
MicroPact’s platform independent BI Edition was the perfect fit.
“MicroPact showed us how their background investigation product would work within our environment, and how easy it is to use,” explained Charles King, Director of Security for the FTC. “With this system, it is so much faster and easier to track any aspect of any investigation.”
Now, the FTC’s investigation data is centralized, and related documents and images are stored and ready for instant access. With faster tracking throughout the entire background investigation process, from searches to data analysis and reporting, MicroPact’s BI Edition provides the FTC with a much more cost-effective method of operation.
BI Edition provides turn-key flexibility.
The BI Edition makes it easy to view current security clearances, past applications and investigations, and upcoming clearance expiration dates for any employee. Forms and documents needed to initiate an investigation are in the system too, ready for use at the push of a button. The BI Edition puts everything the Personnel Office needs in one central location, making it easy to initiate, track, process, and view applications and clearances.
