The Council of Ministers is the Executive Authority in the Country. The Directorate of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM) covers the administrative, legal and technical support functions of the Council of Ministers. In order to enhance the efficiency, performance and transparency of communication, daily operations and decision making at the PCM, there is a need to develop and implement a system that manages all its documents and processes.

The implementation of an electronic document management system combined with a workflow application at the PCM serves towards:

• Improving the decision making of the PCM through the provision of a system that electronically archives, indexes and retrieves data when required; 
• Improving efficiency and streamlining of internal processes through their mapping in an electronic workflow solution;
• Increasing accessibility and distribution of information in a timely manner;
• Expediting the completion of a transaction;
• Reducing lost documents;
• Allowing efficient document tracking;
• Enabling the easy and accurate monitoring and control of various tasks;
• Facilitating the coordination with the various public administrations; and
• Moving to a paperless environment;
