6. Project Wins
The project drove positive changes to Active Directory – AD is up-to-date with valid phone numbers, addresses and managerial relationships.
A web-based AD Management interface was constructed to allow HR staff to maintain contact details and managerial relationships. This system can dual-function as an agency contact directory.
A new core competency in Adobe LiveCycle Process and Form Design was fostered.
The agency gained additional business process visibility via Process Reporting.
All development was completed in-house, with no vendor development support. This allowed the project to come in significantly under-budget.

7. Lessons Learned
Adobe LiveCycle Development Team needs to be involved in selection of electronic form candidates.
We need to plan ahead for the PCC process – coming in for certification mid-stream introduced new problems and risks to the project itself.
