Why is this tool different?
Most organisation still follow a paper based process in sorting out RTI/ FOI applications. Some IT savvy organisation accepts the FOI request through their website and then process them using emails or specially altered document management system. Some of the organisations have heavily customised a case management system to manage their RTI process. The success of these systems varies as all the systems that are used are meant for some-other use. Ingeni RTI is not a just customised case management or document management system. It’s build by with the help of a team of experts with hands on knowledge on RTI/ FOI laws and implements a workflow out of the box to help your organisation to comply with legal acts that prevail in your region.

RTI/ FOI - The research
Research shows that since approval of the RTI act, applications for RTI has been growing at a steady rate of 30% per year. Currently on average every public organisation receives approximately 2000 applications a year and experts predict a steady growth as public awareness for the act grows. Are you ready for it?
RTI/ FOI: How this affects you?
If you are a public organisation, your office must respond to an RTI application within a set time frame (between 20-30 days from the receipt of the application). If your organisation fails to respond within the time frame, you could face penalties and fines for not complying with the law. Regular failures to comply with the law could damage your organisation’s reputation.
