3
Counties have direct access to the system
Changes how counties: ▪ submit & track county annual financial reports & surveys
▪ submit & track invoices
▪ review & sign RMAs, DMAs, TMAs, PbM contracts
▪ report on budgets & balances
Automates data flows between
CHEMS & WisDOT
4
Secure, role-based system
Direct submission of financial info & invoices
Let the system do the work▪ Electronic review & retrieval of documents
▪ Email reminders for what’s coming due
▪ Behind-the-scenes workflows route documents to right
place at right time for editing, approval & submission
▪ Escalation if deadlines pass or positions are vacant.
5
Validation to ensure all required fields are filled in.
Data flow so you only enter things one time – and
they show up in the right places downstream.
Protections to alert you to more common errors
6
Run reports directly from the system▪ Including other counties’ charges to your RMA
▪ Choose among pre-built reports or build your own
Track RMAs and invoices thru approval▪ View workflow in real time
▪ Receive notification upon completion
Retrieve and print docs anytime
Customized dashboard

Challenges
Non-CHEMS counties
have to key data
Learning something new
8
Strategies
Key only high-level data.
Easy upload for detail.
Make screens intuitive.
Provide training and
support.

9
No changes to entering or using data in CHEMS
No changes to CHEMS support▪ Jon Gray remains lead developer & contact
Automatic data flow between CHEMS & WisDOT▪ The same way equipment cost analysis (ECA) form flows
into WisDOT equipment systems
10
As part of this project, evaluate moving CHEMS to
a web-based system.
Counties will be involved at every step!

15
WisDOT uses an old mainframe system to create
and process payment for RMAs & other contracts.
There are seven systems running databases,
processes, reporting to manage WisDOT’s
contracts with counties.
Many processes are
highly manual.
16
Updating the mainframe and related systems▪ moving to the web
▪ automating processes
▪ adding features
Providing direct, secure county access.
Adding features to benefit counties – including
automated data flow between CHEMS & WisDOT.
