Electronic Document Exchange…….what is it, how do I sign up for it and how will this help make my caseload or intergovernmental unit more efficient.  Join our conversation with an overview of EDE from OCSE along with California’s perspective and how Indiana not only uses it to communicate with other states but internally among their 92 counties
