Kentucky agency shares Barts experience at IAWP conference
July 25, 2006
During the International Association of Workforce Professionals' (IAWP) 2006 Annual Conference held last month in Louisville, Kentucky, James Inman of the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training gave a presentation on his Agency's experience with On Point Technology's Barts package software product. Kentucky went live with Barts in May of 2005.
Speaking to an audience of approximately 50 conference attendees, Mr. Inman discussed the structure and functionality of Barts, and how the application has been deployed in Kentucky. He also spoke about some of the results, gains and improvements the Agency has experienced during the initial year of using Barts.
Mr. Inman also mentioned during his presentation that Kentucky has entered into an agreement with On Point Technology to install our Aware software product and discussed how the Agency deems that this tool will help uncover social security number abuse, identity theft and organized fraud.
From feedback we've received, reports indicate his presentation prompted a lively discussion and a good number of questions, reflecting the workforce community's heightened interest in UI benefits overpayments (both fraud and non-fraud).
Several attendees requested copies of Mr. Inman's presentation. If you would like a copy of the presentation, you can contact him at james.inman@ky.gov.
