c) Deployed – The use case is being actively authorized or utilized to support the functions or mission of an agency.
Expected benefit
The benefits of ProLaw is that it enables PRAO to store digitally, consistent with the component's records retention schedule, all PRAO inquiry files and then quickly search large quantities of inquiry files to identify relevant historical inquiries and advice to a current matter a PRAO attorney is working on. This greatly reduces the amount of time it takes PRAO staff to research which then reduces the wait time of the Department attorney who has requested PRAO advice. Because ProLaw allows PRAO to store records digitally, it also provides government cost savings in the amount of money paid to store hard copy records.
