BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I was the Project Manager of the Archive of Electronic Documents Project (Project AED) on the part of the state archives. I was also the Director of the Department of records management and was substantively responsible for the complete project implementation called Archive of Electronic Documents.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire INTechHouse, and what were your goals?

The main goals of the project Archives of Electronic Documents were:

1. preparing the appropriate infrastructure enabling long-term storage and maintenance of archival materials in electronic form,
2. enabling organizational units to transfer archival materials in electronic form;
3. providing State Archives with a tool enabling acquisition, verification, authorization and management of stored archival materials in the digital form,
4. enabling the search and direct access to archival material in electronic form retrieval to the state archives to citizens. We needed an AED system designed in microservice architecture software and developed from scratch. The vital project part was also to integrate with the internal systems of state archives and external systems - including those provided by public administration. The solution security was essential because the system AED was intended to store and manage priceless documents constituting archival materials.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

The vendor company had already successfully cooperated with archives on other projects before. However, in th case of the AED Project, there was a competitive tender, and the Company's offer turned out to be the best. In addition to the price, the issue of work planning, project management, communication, and warranty rules played a crucial role in the assessment.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The scope was to design and create a complex AED system providing extensive functionality and a high level of security. The leading technology was JAVA + Spring Framework. This designed system should have worked in microservice architecture software and coordinated numerous Polish units. Part of the functionality has been achieved before integration with ready-made open-source solutions.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

The vendor development team had an enterprise architect, business and systems analysts, software developers (both backend and frontend), security specialists, software testers, and a project manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The vendor company needed to provide a high-security level and task responsibility. They also had to ensure seamless integration with other internal and external systems. The company was such a vendor. We received a well-done product, and what’s more – the electronic system of documentation that was well-managed and ready to use immediately.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We had a project manager attentive to every detail and task. We provided regular project meetings to talk about project status and discussed possible problems. Those meetings were attended by representatives of the development team (e.g. architects, programmers, analysts, and testers) as needed. We received periodic reports and also additional reports we need by request. The whole cooperation process was easy, friendly, and effective. We used email, Webex and Redmine for constant communication.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their high delivery standards and technology choices provided strong security to us. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

The system is working well, but the user needs to change over time, and new ones appear, which is why the system is constantly developed. When it comes to the design process and developing software - some issues required refinement, but it was done on an ongoing basis, as needed, to obtain optimum product quality.
