• Historically paper-based administration and locally stored files
Getting rid of paper files
Digital Workplace Convention – October 25th 2016
Challenge:

• Often sensitive and complex cases, leading to lots of paperwork
• Existing digital information had to be kept on local storage; potential
danger with sensitive data
• Information from multiple sources
• Delays between insurance request and insurance proposal, whereas
speed and accuracy are necessary
• Lack of efficiency, no insight into the detailed status of a case and
oversight issues
• Difficult to monitor performance

“No more paper”“Uniformity in the way documents are saved (naming, folders,…)”
“Overview of “what has been done” and what is to be expected.Avoids having to search in a pile of paper…”
“Feedback is clear (track changes, comments)”
“Quick access to the files you are working on”
“It helps to maintain an overview of the cases I’m working on and in which stage they are.”
“Streamlining of the review and decision processes: they are quicker , more transparant, and better documented,. Significant support to a more uniformized and harmonized way of working within the wholedepartment.”
“Electronic reviews of proposal/decision docs: by writing in the doc, the “back and forth” [of paper documents] between drafterand reviewer is avoided […] Small errors can also be correctedin the doc self.”
