Purpose of the Project :

In an effort to digitize the agency's file rooms, LA Dept. of Energy and Natural Resources is looking for consulting services to perform an assessment of their current practices and develop an actionable roadmap to effectively digitize the paper files and store the documents into a repository that will allow users throughout the agency to have access.

Data gathering sessions will need to be performed with multiple agency departments and regional offices.

The current process involves desktop scanning, indexing and storing documents into the Oracle Document Repository. After scanning, documents are available for public viewing using the Sunrise application.

Physical documents are boxed and shipped to La. State Archives after scanning. A small portion of the documents that need to be scanned require an oversize scanner.

Louisiana Department of Energy and Natural Resources (LDENR) wants to set up a centralized scanning location for all paper documents to get processed.

The centralized scanning will be to process the file room documents as well as any new documents that the agency needs to archive.

The contractor will assess the Louisiana Department of Energy and Natural Resources digitization needs, develop supporting business and technology requirements, and define the overall scope.

The outputs of these activities would form the basis for a digitization roadmap to guide future phases of an implementation.
