New £9.5m EDRMS for DFID

"The Department for International Development (DFID) is to spend £9.5 million to develop and support a new document and records management system.

DFID is the department tasked with spearheading the UK Government’s effort to tackle world poverty. This new system will transform the way DFID employees manage information and share knowledge on a daily basis.

LogicaCMG has won the contract for the system, called Quest, which will deliver electronic document and records management (EDRM) and web content management to DFID’s 2,500 employees and will be rolled out across sites in 60 countries.

Quest will ensure that DFID is equipped to meet statutory requirements including compliance with the Data Protection Act, the Freedom of Information Act, reporting to the public on Public Sector Agreement targets, and meeting the wider demands of the Modernising Government Agenda."
