Technology is allowing stacks of papers all over government to be done away with. It used to be that when a member of the military wanted to sign up for health care, the form-filling could reach epic proportions.



The web portal of the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System has put an end to that. DEERS's web portal lets any military member sign up for TRICARE benefits online, avoiding the pile of papers.



Janie Groth and Heather Matuschek of the Defense Department talk about how their team built the web portal and how it serves military personnel who are deployed all over the world.
