The Middlesex South Satellite Office is on the move…and it should happen sometime next week. All week long we have been shuffling furniture and computers up and down the registry’s hallways. Yesterday, the new copy area was arranged, re-arranged, re-arranged again and finally connected. Today, our MIS director intends to set up and test south public access terminals and cashiering stations. We expect this to go smoothly…We hope to make the change over seamless with as little interuption to the public as possible…The plan is to keep recording, search and printing capabilities operational in both the old and new satellite locations…basically run a parallel system for at least one day…I am not sure how much of the reoragnization will be accomplish on Thursday and Friday (last and first day of the month) of this week. The move has a number of objectives… customer convenience and department efficiency. Streamlining these departments means eliminating seldom used equipment and re-allocating staff. One major change from our original plan involves the Secretary of State’s Corporation computer and the computer connected to other registries. Both of these have been moved to the hallway outside of Registered Land. Another major change…The 3M Printer/Reader used to make plans will be moved to what is now the Middlesex South Office…yes, you will still be able to purchase copies made from this machine.
