Common Priorities– Electronic communication with applicants– Single collection and multiple use of data– Customer-driven and efficient working

procedures– Digitalisation of internal working

procedures

eArchive BE and NL

Lessons learned

• For OCR (optical character recognition)– Paper Forms need to be designed for OCR– High quality cannot be achieved instantly

• For “No more paper forms”– big or double computer screens!

• Scan and application side by side– Major change for all in the organisation

• E.g. electronic task list instead of pile of paper• Communication is important!

Conclusions

• Your strategy depends on circumstances and organizational/political choices (scalability, only e-declarations)

• Online application gives automatic checks and drastic decrease of administrative follow-up

• OCR is a temporary solution towards online applications

• Investments have to be made in staff education and the workplaces

Conclusions from work shops
