DOAA Client Portal

What is the Client Portal?
The DOAA Client Portal is built using CaseWare Cloud, a collaborative platform that provides a secure and efficient way to exchange documents, share information, and communicate. The platform facilitates real-time collaboration through an intuitive and user-friendly client portal interface. It provides file sharing (drag and drop), status reporting, notification, and messaging features. DOAA is rolling out the client portal to enhance the Request List experience.

What to Expect
DOAA is contacting clients beginning in fiscal year 2024 to schedule a 30-minute meeting for client setup. During this meeting, the DOAA Client Portal project manager will provide a demo of the client portal features and will walk through the client portal account setup. By the end of the meeting, clients will be able to interact with the Request List and respond or make comments on request items within the DOAA Client Portal.

Accessing the DOAA Client Portal
After completing the DOAA Client Portal account setup (as described above), you will be able to access the DOAA Client Portal.
