Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center, Bloomington, IN

More than 200 staff members at the sprawling Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center near Bloomington, IN, are using Laserfiche to store acquisition, payroll, transportation and property records.

One of the U.S. Military's leading weapons and munitions facilities, the Crane Center is currently providing extensive support to U.S. military operations in Afghanistan. Originally limited to support of the Navy, the Crane Division now provides weapons development, testing and manufacturing for the Army, Air Force and Marine Corps, as well as the Navy.

Under exacting new requirements specified by the Pentagon's NMCI (Navy Marine Corps Installation), all legacy technology applications in military installations must be certified to assure they function well in simulated "real world" conditions. Recently completed tests showed Laserfiche Document Imaging passed all of the NMCI "PoP in the Box" requirements.

The base, which dates back to December 1941, was recently named the top facility in the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) competition, which measured overall efficiency and quality of performance. It now will go on to compete with other top Navy bases worldwide for international honors.

John Montel of Virginia-based General Dynamics Information Technology, a Laserfiche Reseller, manages support for the Laserfiche installation at the base. Montel and General Dynamics have provided Laserfiche solutions to all branches of the military. Montel participated in the recently mandated "PoP in the Box" certification process.
