Enterprise Document Digitization and Workflow Automation Platform for Government Infrastructure Management

The organization faces difficulties with inconsistent, incomplete, and error-prone raw data and metadata collected from infrastructure projects. These issues hinder the creation of accurate project folders and impede efficient data access. Additionally, scalability to handle large volumes of data and seamless integration with existing legacy systems pose significant challenges. Customization of project folders to meet diverse departmental needs requires extensive resources and technical expertise, further complicating effective document management.

A large government agency responsible for managing infrastructure projects, including document management, workflow, and digitization processes to improve operational efficiency.

• Implement a centralized digital platform that streamlines project document management and storage.
• Reduce manual data entry and improve data quality and consistency across project records.
• Enable automated classification and organization of documents via customizable metadata fields.
• Facilitate scalable handling of large data volumes, with support for future growth.
• Integrate with existing scanning and indexing tools to automate metadata extraction from scanned paper documents.
• Provide advanced search capabilities based on document metadata for quick access.
• Implement role-based access control for secure project folder management.
• Generate detailed reports on document scans, project activity, and data analysis to support decision-making.

• Web interface with dynamic forms to create new projects with predefined metadata fields.
• Automated generation of project-specific folders and subfolders based on input data.
• Configurable content models supporting classification of documents by type and inheriting metadata where applicable.
