The group is recognized for working together to define, design, and implement a process in the MEP Information System to automate the merit review process for MEP State Competitions. The process includes internal and external reviewers and requires significant time for staff to monitor progress and initiate reminders, schedule follow-up, and consolidate information for subject matter expert review and selection, all in a secure environment. The cross-functional team developed and implemented the online process to reduce time and improve quality of the process.
