Regione Marche: regulation-compliant digital document storage system

January 16, 2009  

Regione Marche has launched a general plan that involves the creation of prototype software that allows verification of the authenticity of digital documents and guarantees the integrity of files over time, pursuant to applicable Italian regulations. The system will be created by Unimatica S.p.A., to satisfy the specifications and requisites indicated in the call for tenders. In this first phase, the system will be designed to suit the requirements of Regione Marche and in particular the applicative services that generate electronic documents such as electronic protocols, the on-line receipt system and electronic mandates. The system will be later extended and integrated with other management systems used by Regione Marche. As requested, the system will be based on a scalable “full Internet” and web-based” architecture on three separate processing levels: presentation, application and data. The basic components for CNIPA1-compliant filing and storage of digital documents originate from Unimatica’s UNISTORAGE system, already used by a number of leading Italian bodies and regional authorities.
