CPS at CDSA 2026: Strong Attendance and Growing Interest in Records Management
Complete Paperless Solutions (CPS) recently attended the California Special Districts Association (CSDA) conference in Santa Barbara, and it proved to be one of our most productive events of the year.
The conference was busy, with steady traffic at the CPS booth and plenty of opportunities to connect with special district professionals. Our popular phone chargers and cookies disappeared quickly, but the real highlight was the
quality of the conversations.
We were also pleased to welcome Katherine, our Laserfiche account manager, who joined us at the booth to meet attendees and discuss how
Laserfiche can help special districts address their information management challenges.
Records Management and Trusted Systems Take Center Stage
Two topics came up repeatedly throughout the event: records management and Trusted Systems.
For California special districts, managing retention requirements, protecting official records, and ensuring long-term accessibility are increasingly important considerations. Conversations at the conference reflected a clear interest in practical solutions that help agencies manage these responsibilities without adding unnecessary complexity.
Laserfiche provides a foundation for records management, while capabilities such as Records Management Edition (RME) and Laserfiche Vault can support retention and Trusted System requirements.
"Special districts have many of the same records management and compliance responsibilities as larger government agencies, but often operate with much smaller teams," said Claude Schott, CFO of Complete Paperless Solutions. "The conversations we had in Santa Barbara reinforced that there is a real opportunity to help these organizations build more effective, sustainable records management practices. They need solutions that fit the way they actually work."
A Market with Real Opportunity
The level of engagement at CSDA reinforced what we've been seeing across the special district market: growing interest in modernizing records management and establishing reliable, compliant systems for managing public records.
For CPS, the conference was an opportunity to listen, learn more about the challenges special districts face, and strengthen relationships within a market where we see considerable potential.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, and to Katherine and the
Laserfiche team for their support. We look forward to continuing the conversations that started in Santa Barbara.
