The Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) and GreenCourt Legal Technologies (GreenCourt) announce a partnership to enhance and expand the PSC's electronic filing platform and internal operations.
CARROLLTON, Ga., Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GovLink, a software-as-a-service product created by GreenCourt to serve government agencies, will replace the filing-by-email process the PSC created at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, GovLink will help PSC Commissioners and staff review filings more quickly.
"With the outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic our organization had to create an alternative to in person filings so we acted quickly to provide an alternative method for businesses and citizens to file documents," said Reece McAlister, the PSC's Executive Director. "While we are pleased with how we solved the problem, we are not satisfied. We believe GovLink will take our operations to a new level of speed and accuracy."
The PSC issued a nationwide request for proposals, culminating in the PSC's selection of GreenCourt in July 2022. GreenCourt will provide and support GovLink for the PSC's 76 employees and five Commissioners. Annually, the PSC receives an average of 4,400 filings related to telecommunications, electric, and natural gas services.
"We greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with the Georgia Public Service Commission," said Jay Bland, GreenCourt's Chief Growth Officer. "The PSC conducted a rigorous search for the right partner in their pursuit of operational excellence. To be selected is an honor."
GovLink will provide consumers and industry representatives with access to historical cases as well as options for opening new cases. Parties related to each case will receive notifications of case activity. Within the PSC, staff and Commissioners will use GovLink to review incoming documents, collaborate during the review process, generate orders, and capture electronic signatures.
