The CARICOM Secretariat last Wednesday officially took ownership of a new web-based Integrated Work Flow System (IWS).

According to a Caricom press release, the IWS, which is expected to enhance the efficiency of Caricom’s operations and improve the delivery of service, was developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) – a Research and Development company from India, under a project financed by the Government of India. A C-DAC team, led by Director General and Group Coordinator Dr Debashi Dutta, was present at Wednesday’s official handing over ceremony of technical documentation and manuals, at the Headquarters of the Caricom Secretariat in Georgetown, Guyana.

The release stated that the Integrated Workflow System provides platforms for Document Management (Document Approval Workflow), Records Management and Web Content Management. The project has also delivered templates for a Web Portal.
