There are many obvious benefits to this concept. First and foremost is that it reduces the level of effort required of the background investigator while improving the process, organization, and managerial visibility. Second is that it imposes rigor into the background investigation process. This rigor includes:
Information Organization
The background investigation process involves the collection of a great deal of information which is compounded by every investigation. Having more than a couple of ongoing investigations at once is a strain on even a well-organized investigator. Having an organized and well-structured environment ensures good organization and instant accessibility. For example, it is impossible for two investigators to organize their case files differently and organization concepts do not have to be learned; they are imposed.
Continuity of Operations
Some departments may have a staff dedicated to the background investigation process. For others, it may be a collateral duty for one or more officers or employees. Either way, POBITS provides a measurable benefit by standardizing how information is stored making it possible for any investigator to instantly determine the status of any investigation or any element of a particular investigation.
Process Standardization
POBITS establishes an organizational structure for investigative information. Whether you are the only Investigator or you work as part of a team of Investigators, this will provide consistency and organization to your investigative work.
Paperless Process
POBITS enables your organization to minimize paper products to the greatest extent possible.
