NATO Document Handling System
“We wanted a user-friendly application for our new document management solution, one which would give all our users fast access to the data they need for their particular jobs. Logica has given us a solution which does exactly that.”
Together with Logica, NATO is now setting new standards in document management for the transfer of expertise. The new Logica system – used as a ‘core service’ – is now putting part of NATO’s long-term knowledge management strategy into actual practice. Within the context of a service-oriented architecture (SOA), the main information systems can now utilise the system, for storing documents
The Challenge
Highly complex organisational structures, strict security requirements and a high turnover of personnel used to hinder the exchange of information and knowledge within the organisation. Member states usually delegate staff for a period of three years. Their data is generally stored on local file servers. In order to reliably evaluate documents NATO-wide with minimal effort – and in accordance with internal regulations – Logica has created a multi-site ‘Document Handling System’ (DHS).
Our Solution
DHS is one of the first NATO multi-site IT systems. This means that over 25,000 civilian and military personnel in Europe, Turkey and the USA can work – with the Logica solution – in the closed NATO ‘Secret Network’ spanning 23 sites.
- Design and development
- Implementation
- Data migration
- Training
- Productive phase
With the new DHS, NATO gets :
- multi-site document availability with semi-automated data migration
- high level of user acceptance with a secure access rights system
- complete integration with Microsoft Office
- open architecture
- international transfer of knowledge and know-how
- noticeable efficiency.
