Why
was BCTS Admin built?
BCTS Admin was built to improve the capture and flow of data for
Timber Sales Offices. All of the data is stored in a central database,
so every Timber Sales Office can have access to seeing this data.
BCTS Admin replaces the Small Business Registry portion of FTAS
which the Ministry was retiring due to outdated technologies.

How
does data flow into and out of the system?

Clerks in Timber Sales Offices throughout BC. However, it is important
to realize that BCTS Admin also interacts with other computer systems
in the Ministry of Forests, and the data is used by other individuals.
