Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS) Launched

The Permanent Secretary and Secretary to the Treasury (PSST), Ramathan Ggoobi has launched the EDRMS at the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development.

This system is a web-based software application designed for managing all records management processes in an entity, including having access to all files and records depending on the permission given, taking action on all incoming mails, sharing and collaborating on tasks among others.

Ggoobi said this system will not only reduce paperwork in the Ministry but will also enhance efficiency and allow work continuity regardless of location.

"This is a bold step towards efficiency, improved service delivery, seamless and quick decision making," said the PSST, adding that the Ministry of Finance was closing a major gap in the document management process.

Ggoobi said this system will be funded across government to improve service delivery and phase out paper records.
