OREANDA-NEWS. More than 78,000 documents are filed monthly in the nation’s second largest county. Now Xerox and Cook County, Illinois have launched a new program that will help the county work better, making it faster and more efficient to file those documents.

“Our new system enables attorneys and tax filers to send in documents with a single click, 24 hours per day,” said Karen A. Yarbrough, Cook County Recorder of Deeds. “As the second most populated county in the U.S., we have a mandate to deliver to our residents a faster, easier, and less expensive way to work with county government.”

MyDec is an online program developed by the Illinois Department of Revenue, which delivers the ability to process real property transfer tax declarations, including authorizing and printing electronic stamps. Until now, MyDec transactions had to be manually processed by county recorders. The Xerox solution transforms that process to be completely electronic and virtually automatic. Cook County’s integration has been phased in this summer. All Illinois counties are eligible to participate.

“The time staff saves from not having to process paper documents will mean more time we can spend on making sure the public record is as accurate as it can be,” Yarbrough added.

Xerox Public Sector Solutions helps government agencies transform their operations and business processes to better serve their constituents. Driving innovation through analytics, research and data, Xerox works with 1,700 clients at the federal, state, regional and local level in all 50 states and 34 countries around the world.
