Julia is a case manager at a domestic violence shelter in a small, rural community. Because this agency is the only one of its kind in several surrounding counties, Julia's responsibilities include traveling to different counties and communicating with different officials in these communities. Oftentimes, Julia is called to respond to crises many miles from her office. She has found herself

spending hours at a time away from her desk and has had trouble keeping up with necessary paperwork.

By doing so, she has found that she can complete client intake forms and other required documentation more quickly and more accurately because she does not have to wait until she returns to her office to complete the forms. Instead, Julia can complete the forms, and then e-mail them back to the office.
