Characteristics Of Effective Government Document Management Workflow Systems

By Loris F. Anders


Information is one resource that many organizations use in their daily operations. For it to serve the required purpose, it has to be timely and secure from leakage to unintended recipients. A quality government document management workflow system is required to facilitate the flow of information in an organized and safe way to support the required operations.

Securing information is an important step not just in the physical sense but in keeping data away from undesired elements. By restricting access to authorized persons only, the risk of exposure is reduced by a big margin. A good monitoring strategy is required to provide a way for knowing when and where things go wrong. Technology, when used well can increase efficiency while eliminating difficulties.

Inasmuch as security is important, it should not be a hindrance to normal operations. Convenience is a key requirement to avoid unnecessary bottlenecks. If the required operations are slowed down or interrupted for no reason, the system may fail to deliver the intended results. All processes have to work efficiently to provide a great working experience to all stakeholders.

Implementing technology in storing information is cost effective since it does not require a lot of space to make it work. Physical documents require not only more space but also other additional investments in facilities like cabinets, boxes, racks, and other hardware. In addition to that, more staff are needed to handle various tasks and manage documents and other accompanying processes.

A proper information flow costs less to manage and also saves time for its users. Physical documents make it harder to find relevant information when needed. When information is stored in digital format, the work of finding records is reduced by a significant margin. By using a quality indexing method, it becomes easier to find and sort such information.

Disasters can hit a data management system and cause serious damage leading to service interruptions. Documents stored physically can be damaged by something like a fire and be difficult to replace. Digital information is easier to manage by creating backups and storing them off-site. Later when problems arise, the information can be restored as it was without any loss or alterations.

Managing information is a sensitive undertaking that can simplify many operations if run well. Handling physical documents is tricky unlike working with digital information. By designing a solid strategy for working with any kind of information, other needs relying on that data can run much more smoothly.
