Electronic Commerce Appraisal System (ECAS)


Overview

The Electronic Commerce Appraisals System (ECAS) has been developed to replace the paper driven process of submitting appraisal data to the Ministry of Forests. Just as there are two distinct appraisal manuals and policy, ECAS is divided into Coast and Interior tracks. As these manuals are amended periodically, ECAS will be changed to collect the appropriate data. The system is designed to operate over the Internet to take advantage of the speed of electronic communication. More detailed technical information may be found by following the link to the ECAS technical documentation. Comments are welcomed and may be submitted via the email link by clicking the Feedback link at the bottom of the application screen. Technical questions or problems encountered may be submitted through the Help desk link.


Success

ECAS was awarded the 2003 Public Sector Information Technology Award.  A heartfelt thanks to all the participants who worked on the ECAS Project.


The ECAS Help Desk is available to assist ECAS users. Contact the ECAS Help Desk if you have questions or feedback about the system or if you are encountering technical difficulties.

The ECAS Help Desk is intended to maintain reasonable expectations and consistent service between the ECAS Help Desk and users of the Electronic Commerce Appraisal System (ECAS)
