ICAADA Needed To Automate A Manual™

Certemy's paperless credentialing automation software has helped ICAADA reduce application step review and renewal processing times from 60 days to as little as 2-3 days - and reduce annual operating expenses by 15% by eliminating printing and postage costs.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) July 09, 2020

Certemy, a leading provider of certification management software for professional certification boards, announced today that the Indiana Credentialing Association on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (ICAADA) has generated a significant return on investment (ROI) using Certemy to automate their paper-based certification programs.

In the first 12 months, Certemy has helped ICAADA reduce application step review and renewal processing times from 60 days to as little as 2-3 days - and reduce annual operating expenses by 15% by eliminating printing and postage costs. In addition, Certemy's proactive alerting feature has reduced phone calls and emails from professionals wondering what to do next by 30%.

"We knew automation could reduce processing times and lower costs, but we could never find a solution that was both affordable and easy to use for our staff and professionals," said Justin Beattey, Deputy Director of ICAADA. "12 months in, after an easy implementation process, we couldn't be happier with Certemy. The reduction in processing times and administrative costs have exceeded our expectations, and Certemy's customer support team has been by our side every step of the way."
