Division 8 Modernisation of the Information Management Systems for the OPCW Verification Division

The OPCW Verification Division currently uses various legacy information systems, some of which are heavily customised. These impede the efficient and effective processing of information.

These include:

• disconnected systems,

• legacy systems lacking contemporary capabilities,

• heavy customisation of the systems and inability to make improvements in a timely and resource-efficient way,

• unavailability of contemporary functionality such as full-text search capabilities and digital processing,

• no possibilities for user-driven workflow process management.

This activity aims to modernise the information management systems of the OPCW Verification Division by replacing these bespoke systems with an enterprise document management solution with contemporary capabilities. The expected benefits will be increased efficiency in the processing of information, a reduction in manual work effort, improvements in data quality and extended analytical capabilities.
