Rockdale County’s IT department, led by Deputy Director and VP of Information Technology Gerald, faced a common issue in government IT: no standardized documentation for processes. New hires were forced to guess how to troubleshoot problems, IT staff spent valuable time answering repetitive questions, and institutional knowledge remained scattered or undocumented.

When Gerald stepped into his role, he quickly discovered an alarming gap: no SOPs existed for routine workflows. New staff had to rely on tribal knowledge, while seasoned employees repeated the same explanations and solutions.
With no standardized knowledge base, IT staff spent hours manually writing up processes or re-creating the same solutions in email threads. This approach slowed project work, daily ticket resolutions, and policy updates.
As a government agency, Rockdale County needed a secure, locally managed solution. Many cloud-based documentation tools created compliance red flags and weren’t guaranteed to integrate well with on-prem software.

By eliminating the need to manually capture screenshots or write lengthy instructions, Rockdale County’s IT team drastically reduced the time it takes to create SOPs.
“When we were looking around to try to find out what was there… we could not find anything.”
Rockdale County exports their FlowShare walkthroughs as PDF files and posts them to SharePoint. This gives staff a familiar, secure portal for referencing SOPs, quarterly updates and policy reviews included.
“It’s very easy to adapt to. Everyone has been able to pick it up and start creating SOPs almost immediately.”

Unlike cloud-based-only training platforms, FlowShare’s authoring tool runs entirely on local machines, letting government teams stay compliant, avoid cloud upload concerns, and maintain full data control. The offline feature also ensures no network connectivity is required to capture processes, so users can document workflows on secure or air-gapped systems.

“On a scale of one to 10, how much time I’m saving? I would say we’re at about a nine.”
Less time documenting means more bandwidth for higher-value tasks. According to Gerald, cutting documentation overhead directly translates to budget savings.
