Case Study: The Scottish Government achieves greater transparency and improved governance with Objective ECM

A more transparent Government standard within the Scottish Government

The Scottish Government partnered with Objective Corporation to address the challenge of managing information across a large, geographically dispersed public sector organisation. With thousands of staff and a growing need for electronic communication, better records management, and greater transparency, the government needed a more sustainable way to improve access to information, governance, and collaboration.

Objective Corporation implemented Objective ECM as the Scottish Government’s electronic document and records management platform. The solution is now used by over 95% of staff and has improved transparency, public access, collaboration, corporate governance, disaster recovery, and flexible working, while reducing paper storage costs and duplication of information. Objective Corporation’s platform also introduced better version control, workflow capabilities, and a stronger foundation for future information management improvements.
