(ICT) for Governance. E-enabling governance helps solve two of the most important issues of governance today:
Page 2 of 34
KESCO - Scanning & Digitization - Solution Proposal
Transparency of Governance
Easy to manage and track the documents online
The role of ICT in e-Governance could be multifold: e-Governance applications must deliver tangible benefits to end
users and businesses in terms of lower costs, more rapid delivery of services or new, innovative services previously
unavailable. It should also enhance the quality of governance processes and services being offered today through
governance process re-engineering. ICT in governance can enhance participation of project stakeholders and
businesses in the choice and provision of governance products and services. And finally, it could help bring new
sections of the society, the underprivileged, under the E-governance umbrella to bridge the digital divide.
At UPDESCO, we understand that bringing technology to the citizen quickly and cost-effectively while maintaining
quality and technology standards for interoperability is the most important factor. The confidence to deliver such
solutions comes to us from the wide-ranging technology experience and close interaction with some of the
Governments
We are committed to delivering fully-integrated solutions to perform scanning and digitization and managing the
documents to meet requirements. As a Solution Integrator, we provide total project management, right from
requirement gathering to deployment including the training. While bringing the understanding of the latest
technologies to the table, we also offer different commercial frameworks to the Government options to advance
critical project implementations and seeing through that they are successfully maintained and run over a longer
timeframe.
Our expertise in solutions and frameworks for Government are visible from some of the critical projects that we have
been involved.
UPDESCO
UPDESCO helps governments harness the power of information technology with process transformation to improve
performance of State /Local governments or PSUs. UPDESCO also provides customized services and solutions that
would ensure complete interoperability with other flagship applications under the e-governance framework of the
respective countries.
This document talks about the UPDESCO proposed software solution to perform the Scanning and Digitization
operations to the department as per the RFP.
2 UPDESCO understanding
UPDESCO had gone through its interaction with KESCO understood the vision and objective of KESCO to scan and
digitize the old records and there by manage them more efficiently using the online DMS software. Following are the
high level activities to be performed as part of the solution.
Scope or work
To develop an software solution to perform scanning, digitization of old records of the KESCO Offices and
perform the post scanning activities like digital signature, PDF/A migration , verification and validation
checks on scanned documents and digitized data and at last uploading them to the DMS.
1 Batch Processing, Archiving (Scanning and Storing into TIFF image/digital form searchable PDF /A format) and
Retrieval.

KESCO - Scanning & Digitization - Solution Proposal
2 Collecting the old records from department.
3 Preparing the records for scanning/digitization purpose, i.e. Removal of tags, pins etc.
4 Scanning and Storing the Data in mirroring facility and one additional back-up on hard disk drive.
5 Indexing the stored digitized data.
6 Handing over the files back to the department in original condition.
7 Handing over the scanned data in three formats (Raw Master Image, Clean Master Image and PDF/A image)
on appropriate electronic media and transferring the stored digitized data on the Hard Disk/CD/DVD/San
Storage provided by the department.
8 Storing the digitized data and scanned documents in backend data store
9 The output of scanning & digitization will have to be posted to DMS after final approval from the department
10 To develop the DMS solution as per the requirements.
11 The PDF/A output should also accompany XML output simultaneously PDF/A and during porting the same to
the DMS
12 Imparting of adequate training to the staff to use the DMS application and manage the documents.
13 KESCO approved scanned documents can be digitally signed before uploading it to the DMS.
14 The workflow of functioning of scanning cell (where scanning activity by the vendor will be carried out) will be
formulated and finalized by KESCO so as to make it in sync with functioning of other concerned sections.
15 The output of scanning/digitization will be verified by authorized officers of department on the basis of all the
technical parameters of this tender including the economy of disk storage of the output.
Proposed Standards
UPDESCO understood that quality place a key role in the scanning and digitization projects. To achieve this proposes
following standards to implement the solution
1 Scanning Activities
1. Scanned Documents Resolution would be not less than 300 dpi and its quality is close to the original
document
2. The compressed PDF files created for viewing should also be 50-80% compressed as compared to
standard CCITT G4/JPEG compression (in TIFF/JPEG/PDF file format) for Grey scale images retaining
Search ability, good view and print quality.
3. Should be liberalized PDF (as defined by PDF reference manual (ISO 3200-1:2008) to ensure faster web
viewing. In case of images with printed English text, the output PDF document should be searchable.
In this case the PDF should also be reflow able such that the text readjusts itself on the basis of the
size of the screen. Searchable PDF should be created in one single step by processing the input image
file thus ensuring that no intermediate manipulation of content is possible. Should be enabled for
interactive use (applying digital signatures, annotations, comments) with free Adobe Reader or any
other popular free pdf software. PDF/A should be digitally signed
4. Automated Meta data insertion in the PDF files- Metadata available in Spread sheet or text file should
be inserted into the PDF file in a single step during the creation of the PDF file itself. The metadata
inserted inside the PDF should conform to the XMP specification for storing rich metadata. This will
enable any content management system that supports XMP to import this metadata as indexes.

There are substantial benefits to be gained by digitizing paper records for KESCO. As a result, the KESCO is
undertaking digitization of the records.
In Scanning and digitization projects or programs you need to be aware that there are also a variety of risks.
Being aware of these risks can help your organization to build mitigation measures into program/project
planning and management in advance to avoid the risks
Page 6 of 34
KESCO - Scanning & Digitization - Solution Proposal
This section talks about the some of the identified risks in the proposed solution along with mitigation
strategy. The risks are categorized based on the
Risk Mitigation - Proper system study and correct judgment at the time of project study phase and use the
backup resources or Increase the manpower and work for more hours to meet the dead lines
2. Manpower - Lack of the skilled manpower for project execution the scanning and digitization activities
Risk mitigation:
To place the skilled manpower to perform the pre-scanning and scanning activities
To place the good quality scanners with 300 dpi
To aggregate the pages based on the size and quality and do it in the high resolution printer
Take the quality printout of the poor quality of the papers before scanning them
Digitization is inherently complex. It is not enough just to buy the software and hardware and start scanning, or sign a
contract with a service provider and send them paper records. If care is not taken the results could be disastrous, the
digital images unusable and public money wasted.
Risk mitigation:
All digitization activity needs to be carefully planned and managed. Research needs to be conducted and decisions
need to be made and documented about a variety of matters including:
Upfront costs can include the purchase of hardware and software, training and support of staff, staff time to define
benchmarks, contract set-up etc. In some cases costs might include conservation treatment for fragile paper
records prior to digitization.
Page 7 of 34
KESCO - Scanning & Digitization - Solution Proposal
Ongoing costs include staff time to digitize and perform quality assurance, the cost of maintaining digital images
(and possibly original paper records as well) over time, managing variables and the maintenance and update of
systems.
In particular, the ongoing costs (and complexity) of preserving digital images in place of original paper records over
long periods of time should not be underestimated. This will require a significant investment of funds over a long
period of time which could make some projects unviable.
Risk mitigation:
As part of planning, organizations need to clearly define both upfront and ongoing costs, including costs for
maintaining some digital images in the long term, and ensure that they have adequate resources over the lifetime
of the program or project. If they cannot guarantee resources, project aims and selection decisions may have to be
reviewed.
Risk 4: That original paper records will be damaged during the digitization process
Back-capture digitization projects require that original paper records be retrieved from storage, handled and
sometimes unbound. On occasions pages may need to be removed (e.g. in order to apply different scanner
settings). In the case of outsourcing, original paper records will need to be transported to and from service
providers.
There is a risk that the paper records will be damaged in this process or returned to storage in the incorrect order.
This may create problems and compromise their ability to function as evidence, especially for records of high risk or
high value that are being retained after digitization.
Risk mitigation:
KESCO need to ensure that original paper records are handled carefully and put back in their original order. Staff
members need to be trained in handling and supervised where necessary and quality assurance measures built in to
ensure records are not damaged.
Important note: If records are required as State archives, advice from State Records should be sought before
digitization commences.
Risk 5: That digitization will not produce a full and accurate representation of the original paper records
The aim of digitization is to create digital images of the original paper records. The quality of these images need to
be fit for purpose. In some cases it may be appropriate to settle for smaller files of lesser quality e.g. for the delivery
of images online.
However, there are occasions where the quality of the digital images cannot be compromised, for example, where
the original paper records are to be destroyed and the digital records are to replace them as evidence of the
business activity (and could potentially be required by department).
Risk mitigation: Organizations need to identify what the essential characteristics of the records are that must be
retained, and create quality benchmarks to ensure that these remain intact. The definition of technical and
metadata standards, along with staff training and quality assurance checks (either of images or samples of images)
should help to ensure that image quality is fit for purpose. Procedures and standards need to be developed and
documented as these will help to demonstrate that digital images are trusted copies of the originals.
Risk 6: That digital images are not stored or protected appropriately
If the original paper records are destroyed the digital images become the official records. Digital images must be
stored securely, remain tamper-proof and unaltered, and be kept for the retention period defined for the original
paper records. Poor storage or protection of the digital images may result in the loss of essential evidence, which
can have far-reaching consequences for the organization.
Page 8 of 34
KESCO - Scanning & Digitization - Solution Proposal
Even if the original paper records are retained, there are risks to the organization if digital images are not subject to
the same controls as the original paper records. For example, access and security regimes for paper records with
sensitive content should equally be applied to the digital images.
Risk mitigation: Organizations should confer with their records management staff to ensure that digital images are
stored and controlled appropriately.
Ideally, digital images should be captured into a recordkeeping system, where they can be accessed only by
authorized users, secured from unauthorized alteration or deletion, in context with related records, protected from
disaster and kept for their required retention periods.
If the organization does not have a recordkeeping system, digital images need to be kept on a secure drive with
stringent security, access controls and backup until the organization can move them into a recordkeeping system.
Note: Master digital images should not be stored on removable media due to their inherent risks. For more
information see managing removable media in the Managing digital records guidelines.
When original paper records are retained, the digital (master) image is already a duplicate. Organizations may also
potentially require multiple digital copies at different levels of quality, depending on their purpose.
If these are inefficiently managed, it will be difficult to ascertain which version is the ‘official’ record and to ensure
that it survives for as long as it is needed. The existence of many derivative images may also add to storage and
management costs and cause problems in relation to access and security.
Risk mitigation:
Organizations should confer with their records management staff to ensure that digital images are managed
appropriately. They will also need to adopt a well-defined metadata schema with relationships between records to
ensure that it is very clear whether the original paper record exists, which is the ‘master’ image and which are
derivatives and for what purpose they are to be used.
DSpace DMS Solution and storing the records in the DB with primary key for each record and manage it with page
count option
Risk 8 : That digital images will not survive and remain accessible for as long as they are required
Digital images are inherently unstable. Technological obsolescence and media degradation can render them
unreadable in relatively short time frames. If digital images are replacing original paper records, and are required as
evidence for long periods of time, the organization will need to consider how to ensure they survive for as long as
they are required.
Risk mitigation:

UPDESCO proposes the open source web based industry standard dSpace DMS application to store and
manage
the scanned documents and metadata online. This section talks about the proposed dSpace activities as part
solution
9.1.12 Overview
DSpace is an out-of-the-box open source repository software package for creating repositories focused on
delivering digital content to end users, and providing a full set of tools for managing and preserving
content within the application. DSpace is the most widely used repository software platform, with more
than1,000 installations worldwide representing a growing and active user community.
Part of the Dura Space group of open technology projects, DSpace was originally developed by the MIT
Libraries and the Hewlett-Packard Company. Since it's initial open source release in 2002, the platform has
been guided by a global community of committers and developers who manage releases and contribute
code.
9.1.13 Features
2. Platform independent - Works on any OS like UNIX-like (i.e. Linux, HP/UX), Mac OSX or MS Windows
5. Application architecture: DSpace offers organizations a full application, not just a framework with
components (i.e. database, data model, workflows, browse/search, storage manager, front end web interface)
built into the architecture. Components may be swapped or added, but there is no need to build new ones.
6. Built-in workflows: Originally designed for libraries, the embedded DSpace data model and workflows are
familiar to librarians and archivists.
7. Built-in search engine: DSpace comes packaged with Apache Lucene, and OS indexing engine, that allows for
enabling full-text searching for end users. In addition, you can optionally enable a faceted search/browse
interface via Apache Solr, an OS enterprise search platform.
8. File types: DSpace auto-recognizes files of any common format (e.g. TXT, DOC,PDF, JPEG, MPEG, TIFF). But,
DSpace will accept files of any format.
9. Metadata: Qualified Dublin Core is the default metadata schema, but DSpace can accept custom metadata
schemas similar to Qualified Dublin Core. DSpace can also translate metadata from other metadata schemas
such as MARC/MODS.
Page 17 of 34
KESCO - Scanning & Digitization - Solution Proposal
10. Tools/plugins: DSpace comes with management tools including batch import/export, batch metadata editing,
curation, and object backup & restoration tools.
11. Security: The platform comes with an authorization stack or organizations may use an existing LDAP,
Shibboleth, or similar protocols to link their internal systems
12. Permissions: DSpace allows you to control permissions as granular as item level, or you can set global
permissions based on communities and collections.
13. OAI-PMH/SWORD/WebDAV: DSpace complies with standard protocols for access, ingest and export.
14. Configurable database: Organizations can choose either Postgres or Oracle for the database in which DSpace
manages items and metadata.
Following are proposed customization steps as part of the dSpace DMS and can be finalized after the final
study.
1. GUI Customization
2. User and access management
3. Searching parameters
