Client Reports
Before EPIC:
- Client reports are filled out by inspector
- No additional information can be obtained after task
- Consistent errors on reports require extensive labor to fix
- Reports are in PDF format, difficult to sign, version, search and provide audit trail
- Reports are printed, and difficult to locate
After EPIC:
- Reports look identical, but generated dynamically
- Inspectors capture more than what is on the report
- Captured information can produce multiple types of reports
- Reports can be formatted / configured anytime, can be effective from an earlier date
- Data is fully searchable, versioned, changes commented, audit trail efficient.
- Reports are not printed, but available immediately on the web via secure portal.

Analysis
Before EPIC:
- Data captured in individual files or reports
- Aggregating data from different inspectors is laborious and error-prone
- Analysis of any data that is aggregated is often ad-hoc and non-reproducible
- Refreshed (new) data requires re-analysis.
After EPIC:
- Data is captured by mobile devices and populates a database covering all inspectors
- Aggregated data available immediately
- Dashboard summaries and reports generated automatically from the aggregated data, while allowing additional user-defined review and analysis
- Dashboards and reports automatically update as new data collected
