Swedish Police captures e-archives

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN: Ida Infront, a subsidiary of Addnode Group (STO:ANODB), has signed an agreement with the Swedish Police regarding a central e-archive system for all of the Police's operations. The contract runs for four years with a value of at least SEK 10 M. There is also an option of an extension for three additional years.

Ida Infront states that it has, after several major successes within the business of e-archive, gained further confidence as an e-archive provider to government agencies. The mission of the Swedish Police includes licenses, services and a range of options in terms of additional licenses and services.

The Swedish Police is taking another step towards a fully digitized information management by establishing a central e-archive for all police operations and its 28,000 employees. 1.8 million new paper files per year are expected to be replaced by digital files. The e-archive is also a prerequisite for being able to follow the new Police Data Act which came into force in 2012.

"This is a prestigious assignment and a very interesting e-archive project for us. To the Police, the e-archive will be crucial to meet the new Police Data Act, but also for a more effective and secure information management," says Stefan Jonegård, CEO of Ida Infront.
