Modernizing Services At Cherokee County

By Xiotech Corporation

Mark Peters, network systems manager at Cherokee County in Georgia, wasn't looking for a storage area network (SAN) when he and his team visited the offices of Indian River County in Vero Beach, Florida. What the team actually came to see was real estate and deeds management software from Aptitude Solutions, one of several being considered for implementation in Cherokee County.

What they found was, not only the soft ware they needed, but a Magnitude 3D® clustered storage system from Xiotech Corporation. The system delivered easy, onthe- fly storage management to vastly improve the county's deed management processes and more.

"We were looking for a system that could help clear up a six-toeight- month backlog of unrecorded deeds," says Peters. "Ours is a very fast-growing area, and land turns over quickly. Things get complicated if you want to sell property and the deed hasn't been registered in your name yet.

"Besides clearing up the backlog, we wanted to permanently reduce the turn around time for deed registration from months to hours. We knew that new software was the key, but everywhere software vendors took us to see their product, we looked closely at every aspect of the solution."
