CPI and MSHP personnel worked closely together to validate development and testing to ensure a successful implementation.
This project’s Scope included work within the currently deployed CCH and MACHS DBs, the CCH Admin Client, and the MACHS Name Search Portal.

The MACHS Name Search Portal changes include notarized letter requests that mirror the Fingerprint Search workflow process in the MACHS Fingerprint Search website.
The implementation provides the MSHP CCH Admin personnel real-time access to Name Searches provided through the MACHS Name Search Portal.
