Workflow and Electronic Document Management in Local and Central
Government
Conference and exhibition
21 May 1998, Fielder Centre, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield

The business case for workflow and digital document management – Workflow and electronic document management have the potential to transform the way public sector offices are organised and the way government works. The past two years have seen a rapid growth in pace of adoption of systems. The White Paper Competitiveness highlighted the importance of using new technology and

getting rid of paper to improve efficiency levels in central government. Equally, Compulsive Competitive Tendering (CCT) and Best Value have led local authorities to analyse their administrative processes and assess the scope for cost reduction via business process improvement and the use of imaging, workflow automation, electronic document management and Web technology.

This conference builds on the CCTA briefing paper Moving away from paper and the recently published PRO Guidelines on the management of electronic records. Aimed at Business and Information Services Managers in all areas of the public sector, it is designed to:

.     Show how workflow and electronic document management can help improve service levels, reduce operating costs and provide wider access to government information;

.     Identify the improvements that can be made in working methods and management processes;

.     Help you plan a successful strategy for improving document lifecycle management across your organisation;

.     Present a series of practical case studies illustrating the progress which has been made in this area over the past twelve months;

.     Provide a showcase for the leading practitioners and suppliers in this field.

This year's event has been moved to the Fielder Centre which allows us to run a larger exhibition and two specialist tracks in the afternoon, one with a focus on local government and the other on central government. Exhibition of products and services and an exhibition by leading system and service suppliers will accompany this event and will be open to conference delegates throughout the day.
