[MUSICAL NOTES]

My name is Pete Nielsen.
I'm the CEO of CCAPP, California Consortium of Addiction
Programs and Professionals.
CCAPP is one of the largest boards in the United States
that deals with the addiction credentialing profession.
We use Certemy for new applicants,
and we get about 100 to 200 a month of new applicants.
And then we get thousands upon thousands
of renewals each month.
Certemy has helped us to process certificants faster,
quicker, and more efficiently.
Certemy has really helped us to make it easier
to change our certification process, to make it
more adaptable and more efficient and actually easier
to use for the admin staff.
Under Certemy, we have a tremendous flexibility.
They will say, we want this new requirement.
And instead of the old system where
we had to call our programmers, wait weeks, draw things out
on a sketch board to explain to them what we are doing,
we're just able to go into the system ourselves.
Certemy helps the professional to
track their progress.
And it also gives them reminders of what they need to work on
through an email alert system.
With Certemy, now an individual can go to a conference,
take a snapshot of his certificate
and then upload it into Certemy.
And it's easy-peasy.
It would be really, really difficult
to find something to replace Certemy
because it is working so well with all of the dimensions, all
of its flexibility.
I just don't know what we would do. [MUSIC
