Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Lithuania

The Lithuanian Ministry of the Interior is a strategic government institution that performs public administration functions and implements state policy in the area of internal affairs. The ministry operates 72 subordinate institutions.

“DocLogix will speed up the work of Ministry employees and will save time and money required for document management. Citizens should also experience the benefits of the system, because it will speed up the issuance of certificates, handling of complaints, and provision of other public services.”

Dailis Alfonsas Barakauskas, Minister of the Interior

Ministry prior to DocLogix

• The previous system in use by the client had limited functionality, and only the main institutions could access it.
• There was no ability to agree on documents between institutions in an electronic environment.
• Some subordinate institutions didn’t have an electronic document management system, making oversight and collaboration very complicated.
• The processes of document preparation, agreement, searching, and archiving were complicated, expensive, and time-consuming.
• There was no ability to monitor the completion of tasks and assignments.
• The system was not integrated with other government information systems.
• Electronic signature was not supported by the system.
• It was not possible to search the content of scanned paper documents.
• Some documents were still registered in paper record books.

Implemented solution

After analyzing the problems of the Ministry, DocLogix designed and implemented a custom document and process management solution. It has a wide range of functional capabilities, is integrated with other state information systems, and ensures that all institutions can participate in joint activities.

• During the project, the DocLogix platform was integrated with these main features:
  – Document management (preparation, registration, agreement, etc.)
  – Resolution assignment and control
  – Process automation
  – Electronic signature
  – Powerful search engine
  – Scanning and optical character recognition (OCR)
  – Integration with email systems
• A special module was developed to enable the exchange of and agreement on documents among institutions with DocLogix installed. In addition, a unique inter-institutional platform was created for smaller institutions, for serving them with centralized document management system functions.
• The system was integrated with the National Archive Information System. This allows users to prepare, agree on, and transfer electronic documents to the National Archive for long-term archiving directly from DocLogix. It also allows employees to search for any available electronic document or its scanned copy in the database of the National Archive.
• DocLogix was integrated with the register of civil servants, ensuring that changes in the register are automatically transferred to the system.
• A unique module for monitoring legal acts was developed, allowing institutions to coordinate and control how legal acts are prepared and agreed upon.
