ATIPXpress
ATIPXpress is designed specifically to provide Canadian federal government institutions with the automated ability to comply with the Access to Information Act (ATIA) and Privacy Act (PA) (together referred to as "ATIP"). ATIPXpress is a feature-rich application that automates compliance with ATIP laws, regulations and policies, and transforms the work of ATIP processing from paper, manual labor and needlessly repetitive tasks to automated processes. ATIPXpress is an extended version of FOIAXpress (http://www.foiaxpress.com). FOIAXpress is sold in the United States and is the most comprehensive COTS application available for processing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Privacy Act (PA) requests with the largest installed base of any COTS FOIA management system on the world.

ATIPXpress electronically stores, retrieves, redacts, and prints documents for delivery to ATIP requesters. It also keeps track of ATIP processing statistics and fees, and generates reports on the number, type, and disposition of ATIP requests processed, as required by the Treasury Board Secretariat and the Acts.

In a recent evaluation by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), ATIPXpress™ software was found to meet all of the 272 mandatory technical requirements established by PWGSC’s ATIP-focused File, Imaging and Records Management software procurement process (EN578-0700398/A).
