As a part of QR 'Digital Drive' program; Enterprise Document Management System was implemented to digitally store and mange all of corporate documents that will be used by various stakeholders across entity. The goal is to have one common document repository to store, retrieve & archive the documents by following the document governance policies.

This project involved 2 phases:

a. Migration of all the files from the conventional storage to Documents Management System.
b. Historical records (Physical Paper Records) were scanned and stored digitally.

This implementation involved migration of millions of paper records into digital format for future storage and retrieval. This will completely eliminate the need to print and store physical copies in future.

Digital document management systems operate on core principle of migrating and storing physical records in a digital format and can be extended to all entities interested to maintain digital copies of their documents.

The project adaptability by the user community is strong indicator of the project sustainability as documents can be easily retrieved, reviewed and stored. The project also promotes sustainable environment practices by avoiding printing of paper documents.

"The main aim of the EDMS project in Qatar Rail is to transform its conventionally available document management method (File System) to the fully digital means of managing the documents. To enable the users to store, retrieve & archive the documents to / from one common repository across the organization."
