THE CHALLENGE

Challenges within the Ministry with current document management and workflow processes.

THE OUTCOME

Business Solution

In-depth business analytics including:

• A series of cross-functional diagrams show core business processes for all business units. The current state systems that underpin these processes are also documented. These process diagrams are augmented through descriptions of the related roles and system descriptions for each step in these processes
• Recommendations that speak directly to data collect during the study phase. Each of the recommendations addressed the efficiency limiters and/or risk identified through an analysis of current state versus a target future state
• Case Studies to profile jurisdictional analyses of three recent Enterprise Information Management implementations

ARC Business Analyst engaged key knowledge holders within the Ministry through a series of scheduled interviews to gain a deeper understanding of the key documents and details of the workflows in which they are created, captured, referenced, or otherwise used.

Particular attention was given to documenting and quantifying the impacts of process inefficiencies and gaps in the current implementation vs. desired end state, as well as the constraints which drive security and compliance requirements.

The ARC EIM Technology Consultant analyzed the current state facts, and identified key opportunities for improvements in the handling of government records which will result in tangible process efficiencies and cost savings.

ARC utilized a simple and consistent EIM Management Consulting methodology. This methodology combines technical expertise and industry best practices to ensure EIM strategy and future state recommendations are consistent with organizational priorities for improving access to mission critical documents and information assets, streamlining workflow, and ensuring that security and compliance requirements are met. The ARC Project Manager executed this methodology that best suited the Ministry’s resource availability and business operations. Where possible, the stages are conducted concurrently or with some overlap in order to minimize the overall project duration.

A detailed report was generated that included current state assessment and future state alternatives. The future state assessment included recommendations that focused on people, process, alternate platforms, a strategic roadmap, along with alternate investment options.
