(a) preparation of a local equivalent authorization document for each client transaction for input into a local system;
(b) pre-edit procedures and document comparison to attempt system synchronization;
(c) entry of data into a duplicative system;
(d) maintenance of paper files to accommodate the local authorization system; and
(e) hardware and software maintenance costs associated with duplicative systems.
