Labor/Unemployment Modernization

High unemployment, reduced budgets, and an overall pressure to do more with less typify the challenges faced by today’s Unemployment Insurance (UI) agencies. Add to this current computing technologies that struggle to support governments in the efficient, fair, and transparent administration of UI laws and policies, and the need for modernization is clear.

Consolidate Relevant Information for Better Performing UI

A web-based solution can provide accurate data, optimize agency processing, reduce paper processing, and minimize cost. Unemployment Insurance agencies can then address a number of issues, including:

  • Fraud, Waste and Abuse
  • Payments to Claimants
  • Poor Customer Service (to Claimants and Employers)
  • Lack of Adherence to Department of Labor Performance Measurements
  • Inefficient Agency Operations
