Customer Success Story: City of Temecula
Laserfiche Bubbles Over in the Heart of Southern California Wine Country
The City of Temecula is in southwestern Riverside County and serves a population of over 110,000 residents. Known as a tourist and resort destination, Temecula is home to many wineries, golf courses, the Pechanga Resort and Casino, and the Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival.
In the early 2000s, the City of Temecula had amassed hundreds of boxes of unorganized documents. The city quickly recognized the need for a solution and in 2001 ECS installed Laserfiche, the city’s first digital content management system, with 25 Users. The City has come a long way since then, growing with the software over the years and leveraging most of the tools at their disposal.
2024 Important Budgeting Notice
In preparation for next year, Laserfiche has announced starting July 1, 2024 there will be a 5% increase to all modules and user licenses on Perpetual and Site packages. This uplift applies to:
▪ Laserfiche Teams and United LSSP
▪ Laserfiche Rio and Avante software and LSSP
▪ Municipal Site packages (Cloud and Self-Hosted Subscription)
This price increase is being imposed by Laserfiche. It has not been announced to the public yet officially, but we are trying to provide you a heads up, to you our valued customer in the meantime. Our Customer Success Team will be in touch soon to consult on the best options and added value available for your organization.
What’s New in Laserfiche Cloud
Laserfiche Cloud ISO 27001:2022 Certification – Laserfiche has received the ISO 27001:2022 certification for its information security management system that includes self-hosted and Laserfiche Cloud products. The ISO 27001:2022 certificate was issued by MSECB, an authorized certification body. The certificate is available for download at the Trust and Security page here. The press release for Laserfiche achieving the certification is here.
Expanded Regional Settings Support – Laserfiche has expanded Spanish and French language support to all aspects of the Laserfiche suite, specifically those areas focused on designer and administrator roles. Administrators can set a default language and region for their organization in the Settings section of the Account Administration page. In addition, users can configure their own language and region settings in My Account.
Forms Reporting Improvements – Search has been enhanced in Forms Reporting. A new ‘All Versions’ option lets you search for all data for a process instead of just data related to a specific version of a process. When searching by version, more version information is now available, such as the version’s publish date and current running instances.
Workflow Update – Using the Search Repository activity, Workflow now lets you search for an empty metadata field. This lets you now quickly identify fields with missing metadata and use Workflow to automatically fill out those fields.
Layout Designer Enhancements – Field masks help users filling out forms to enter data in the correct format. For example, a field mask can ensure that a telephone number is formatted with the area code in parentheses and with a dash between the third and fourth numbers.
Expanding on table and collection field search, a new field search option with condition logic lets you filter tables and collections to more easily find information in them.
Account Administration – Users with the Account Administration access right can review the Laserfiche Cloud subscription agreement from the Settings page’s Profile tab.
New Import Agent and Email Archive Version – Import Agent and Email Archive have been updated with performance enhancements, quality of life improvements, new options for generating Laserfiche pages from PDFs and more. See below for release notes and list of changes.
Solution Templates – A new Auto Insurance Claims Process expedites claims processing, starting from the submission by claimants, then proceeding with review and approval by claims adjusters and concluding with claims settlement.
