Department Of The Interior's National Business Center Selects TechSolutions As A Total Information Management And Reporting System For The Federal Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Function

The National Business Center serves as the systems manager and general purpose computing host for the Department of the Interior's (DOI) department-wide administrative ADP systems supporting the functions of budget, procurement and contracts, personnel management, finance and accounting, E-Government and other general administrative services. NBC recently selected TechSolutions' Visual Powerfiles (TM) for EEO, a server-based software package, as a total information management and reporting system for the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) function.

"TechSolutions is extremely excited to work with NBC to fulfill their EEO function," said Robert Patterson, systems architect for TechSolutions.

Visual Powerfiles for EEO was designed to keep Federal EEO agencies fully compliant with EEOC reporting requirements. All reporting needs for Federal EEO Multi-Year Affirmative Action Plan (MYAAP) can be run within minutes.

This server-based software package handles personnel data with maximum efficiency via one central location. The ability to access data from a central location allows an organization to make downloads available to multiple field offices simultaneously. Field offices will not need to obtain separate downloads when data is updated. With this software, organizations must only download data once to make information available to everyone who needs it. This method will save time and effort for all Federal EEO staff and organizations.

Visual Powerfiles for EEO software is also updated quarterly to ensure that it meets new requirements. It works with a Federal EEO agency's own PCs and networks and runs under Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Server 2003 as well as over the Internet or an organization's intranet. Visual Powerfiles for EEO can also be purchased or use without a server utilizing an Access database for small Federal EEO agencies.

"The fact that all the reporting needs for an organization's Multi-Year Affirmative Action Plan can be run within minutes makes Visual Powerfiles for EEO pay for itself in the first year of use," said Patterson. "What once took weeks now takes minutes."
