The solution

To address these challenges, the Ministry of Justice selected Hyland's Alfresco platform for its document management system in 2011.

The Directorate General of Digital Transformation is responsible for planning and managing digital transformation within the justice sector. The implementation of Alfresco enabled the Ministry to deliver document services to both internal applications and end users through dedicated clouds.
