How To Digitize Your Tribal Enrollment Process With OneTribe

Written by Intertribal Software | Jun 20, 2024 1:45:00 PM

Enrollment is one of the most cumbersome workflows that Tribal Governments handle. The process entails doing genealogical research, establishing one's familial connection, and issuing identification cards.

Intertribal Software’s OneTribe Member Services solution is fully integrated with Laserfiche, an enterprise content management platform. We developed OneTribe to help Tribal Governments streamline their enrollment processes. In particular, our software solution digitizes various aspects of the tribal enrollment process, including: 

1. Digitizing Enrollment Forms

OneTribe digitizes the traditional paper-based enrollment forms into electronic formats. This enrollment form digitization eliminates the need for manual data entry, making the process quick and easy to do remotely. Digitizing enrollment forms enhances data accuracy since we can incorporate validation checks. 

2. Accepting Digital Signatures

At OneTribe, we understand that Tribal Governments need to authenticate and validate enrollment documents. For this reason, we help these governments use digital signatures to validate a given signatory. Specifically, OneTribe's software enables members processing an enrollment to sign forms and other documents digitally. In this way, our software eliminates the need for physical signatures associated with the manual tribal enrollment process. OneTribe also verifies the authenticity of digital signatures and stores them in a centralized database for easy retrieval.

3. Creating Family Trees & Calculating Blood Quantum

As a rule, Tribal Governments have to determine an individual's lineage and degree of tribal ancestry when processing enrollment. OneTribe automates this process by helping governments store and organize all important tribal data, including historical documents, marriage records, birth certificates, and genealogical records on a central platform. This dataset, coupled with OnetTribe's analytical capabilities, allows your Tribal Government to generate family trees with exceptional ease and accuracy. OneTribe uses stored genealogical data to determine the percentage of one's tribal ancestry. 

4. Verifying Addresses With GIS Mapping

During the tribal enrollment process, Tribal Governments need to authenticate the applicant's residency claims. The verification ensures that all applicants meet residency requirements for membership. OneTribe digitizes this process to eliminate the chances of inaccurate entries. Our software uses spatial data to establish an applicant's correct address based on satellite imagery and street imagery.

5. Creating ID Cards

OneTribe through Laserfiche helps automate the creation of IDs for new members. The two platforms provide a data management platform that collects, stores, verifies, and organizes the personal details of members. 

Additionally, OneTribe software integrates with Alpha Card, streamlining the entire process of printing ID cards. OneTribe can also help your government manage other ID-related services such as voter registration. The ID creation digitization service from OneTribe streamlines workflows, improves data accuracy, and enhances security.
