Improving Efficiency while Serving Citizens More Effectively
|
The Government Sector is
increasingly feeling the pressure of managing an immeasurable volume of
information. Government agencies are facing immense challenges in maintaining
control over the daily correspondence process. Such organizations receive
hundreds of incoming letters, faxes and web forms. The response to such
incoming mail may be simple or complex depending on the research needed to
provide a reply. A letter referencing a certain subject may require hours of
search in the filing room to find the case folder related to the correspondence
subject. |
|
Government documents contain
sensitive and private information; thus secure and safe circulation of such
documents is highly needed. Tracking the circulated letters and the actions
done on them is another challenge that is facing such agencies.

Diwan@Work is a web based solution that allows organizations to
collaborate efficiently to handle incoming and outgoing correspondences.
Diwan@Work is a platform independent solution that allows mail room personnel
to archive incoming correspondence and efficiently route it to the addressed person
in an electronic way. Incoming correspondence is indexed using a set of user
defined keys such as the letter number, letter subject, coming from, addressed
to …etc. These index field scan then be easily used to retrieve any incoming
mail using Diwan@Work web interface.

Diwan@Work is a platform
that offers complete lifecycle management for both physical and electronic records,
as well as knowledge management components that empower workers and other
constituents to more effectively and quickly find the information they need |
Diwan@Work also facilitates
the linkage of incoming letters with the original case folders using its open
level document management archiving tree.
Routing in Diwan@Work can be
add-hock routing; rule based routing or based on the organization chart. Using Diwan@Work
graphical organization chart builder, government agencies can build an
organization chart in a fully graphical way without the need to do any
programming or scripting. Users can route documents based on the security profiles
that are assigned to them; some users will be allowed to do free ad-hock
routing of incoming or outgoing mail, others will only be allowed to route
letters based on the organization chart, or using basic rules: such users can
route correspondences to staff that are located one level below them in the
organization chart or peers positioned in the same level.
Diwan@Work focuses on how various levels in an organization can
access and handle incoming/ outgoing mail. Simultaneous comments on a draft of
outgoing correspondence are supported for fast action and accurate response. Diwan@Work
allows users to hand-write their comments on the electronic document using a
light pen.
Diwan@Work consists of a set
of integrated modules each serving a certain function within the organizations
incoming/ outgoing correspondence cycle. Government mail processing and
management is among the key aspects that Diwan@Work primarily focuses on.
