FAA Processes Air Marshal Applications using Cardiff TELEform, Adobe PDF and Oracle

Cardiff TELEform meets the stringent requirements of rapid deployment, security, accuracy, and speed for the important job screening process

San Diego - 2001-12-18 - Cardiff Software Inc., a leading supplier of XML-based eBusiness and eGovernment automation solutions, today announced that the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is using Cardiff TELEform™, Adobe® portable document format (PDF) and Oracle® to manage the Federal air marshal paper-based application process.

Recent events compelled the FAA to re-activate its program to find, screen and hire qualified air marshals as quickly as possible. From Sept. 19, 2001, to Nov. 15, 2001, the FAA received approximately 81,000 paper applications ó about 973,000 pages ó before converting to a total online process in mid-November. To meet critical security deadlines, FAA decision makers turned to advanced forms processing technology to accelerate the processing of paper applications. Cardiff experts worked with the FAA to fine-tune the process, which will soon be capable of processing more than 4,000 applications per day - more than 48,000 pages.

"We needed to balance the urgency of our security concerns with the cost of processing tens of thousands of paper applications," said Susan Bounds, Manager of the FAA's Aviation Careers Division. "Our system had to make it easy to apply yet make it possible to collect the pages of personal information required to process applicants. The solution was a combination of Cardiff TELEform, Adobe PDF and Oracle."

Prospective air marshals accessed and printed an Adobe PDF application at jobs.faa.gov. Once completed, the 12-page application was sent to the Aviation Careers Division at the FAA's Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City, Okla., using postal mail services. For all processed applications, the form's data seamlessly passes to an Oracle database within the FAA, where it is immediately available to hiring officials.

"Cardiff is proud that our products can help as the country responds to the threats to our security and safety," said Dennis Clerke, co-founder, president and CEO of Cardiff Software. "We applaud the FAA on its ability to apply know-how and technology to quickly respond to our country's needs and to get its mission accomplished."
