Fairfax Imaging awarded contract for remittance solution by California DMV

Tampa, Florida, November 2007 – The California State Department of Motor Vehicles (CA DMV) awarded Fairfax Imaging, Inc. a contract to develop and maintain a forms and remittance processing solution. The system must process well over 300,000 incoming mail pieces per day, containing automobile registration renewals and related documentation. Fairfax Imaging will be the prime contractor for this project and will provide the development and integration for the entire solution. 

Fairfax Imaging will install its award winning imaging and data-capture platform Quick Modules, which is scalable and tailor-able to meet the validation requirements.

 “It’s not only high volume; the CA DMV needs a system that can carry out complex validations with their driver information databases and then respond in diverse ways to the captured data,” said Steve Chahal, President of Fairfax Imaging.  “Quick Modules can be customized to meet intricate business rules without adversely altering its core software functionality.”

A turn-key solution, Quick Modules provides faster processing and increased cost efficiency.  By applying the latest in recognition technologies including OCR, ICR, and CAR/LAR, the system enables CA DMV to streamline its operations and increase the productivity of its labor force.  However, the definitive factor in CA DMV’s choice was Quick Modules’ customizable ability to provide multi-faceted, data look-ups which result in a variety of workflow decisions. 

 “During the public opening of cost proposals, Fairfax Imaging’s was the only envelope opened,” said Bill Merritts, V.P. Government Sales for Fairfax Imaging.  “We can only assume that no other bidder met the requirements.”

Fairfax Imaging, will accomplish the necessary throughput volume by providing Opex mail openers and scanners along with multiple high-end Dell (NasdaqGS:DELL) servers clustered for redundancy.  The entire solution will be supported by a Cisco (NasdaqGS:CSCO) Catalyst network and the latest Dell  Storage Area Network (SAN) technology with fiber connections.  “We chose the Cisco  Catalyst switch technology because we need to reliably handle the considerable amount of network traffic,” said Mike Minter, VP of Sales and Marketing for Fairfax.  “In addition, we designed redundancy into every facet of the solution. There is no single point of failure.”

Fairfax Imaging’s solution combines traditional imaging with its well established Quick Check 21 capability. The system captures an image of both sides of each check in a single pass operation.  After balance and endorsement, Quick Check 21 creates an x9.37 file to hold the cash letter and images of checks to be deposited. Quick Modules then transmits the file electronically to CA DMV’s financial institution. This further streamlines the operation, returning faster, more accurate deposits and eliminating the cost and time to ship paper checks to the bank for processing.
