In early 2004, Ohio's Governor Bob Taft decided to go forward with plans for the Ohio Administrative Knowledge System, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system designed to improve the efficiency of state government and planned for full implementation in 2007. The Board needed a more efficient method to review and approve submissions. Agencies needed customized and simplified processes for expenditure proposals that did not involve stacks of paper, months of preparation, confusing and inefficient approval paths and redundant maintenance of independent databases that were disconnected from the mainframe-based Central Accounting System. The e-Controlling Board application, powered by Captaris Workflow, was the first OAKS-related process improvement to be implemented.
