Advanced Kiosks inks supplier deal for Maine initiative

October 24, 2013

Advanced Kiosks announced it has entered into a four-year agreement with the Maine Department of Health and Human Services' Office for Family Independence to manufacture and maintain 58 turnkey, self-service computer kiosks in 16 regional offices throughout the state.

In addition to the hardware, Advanced Kiosks is also supplying project management and its entire line of software configured to interact with OFI's system, according to a news release.

The self-service kiosk deployment is a flagship initiative of OFI's Eligibility Management Future State Program, a group tasked with revolutionizing the way Maine residents apply for and receive need-based benefits like food supplements, cash and medical assistance, the release said.

"Automating the process was really the only answer," said Howard Horn, president of Advanced Kiosks. "We worked with the folks at OFI and Maine's Office of Information Technology to provide an all-in-one, turnkey solution that worked for them. We started with our Document Kiosk with scanner, added our standard VoIP handsets and privacy screen hardware options, and then installed Zamok, our new cloud-based, self-service management software."
