WSIS Prizes Contest 2020 Nominee

National Digitization Program


Description

In compliance and alignment with Qatar Vision 2030 and QDG strategy 2020, MOTC took the initiative to launch NDP. The project seeks to facilitate the digital transformation of the government sector in Qatar by digitizing active and legacy physical documents. The project provides a catalogue of diversified digitization and Record Management services. Key aspects of the program are:
1- Digitization of physical documents
2- Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
3- Storing physical documents in purpose-built, highly secured stores
4- Secure records destruction
5- Data Tape Management
6 - Secure and safe destruction of media storages.

This resulted into the following benefits:
1- Easy access to these documents. Using few keywords and in a minimal time a user can retrieve the required document.
2- Multiple access to same documents at same time
3- Saving time by eliminating filing, retrieval and refiling.
4- Documents can be shared across different government entities.
5- Minimize the use of papers and stay green.
6- Minimize the cost of storing physical documents.
7- Eliminate the risk of official documents being lost or ruined accidentally
8- Control and Track access to sensitive information.
