A strategic project to modernise document management! 

At the end of 2019, the **French Police Academy**, which is part of the **Central Directorate for Recruitment and Training of the National Police** (DCRFPN), began considering **replacing its internal DMS and the associated** portal used to distribute all field procedures and training documents for the National Police.

**The challenge**: to replace this platform, developed in-house some fifteen years ago, with a commercially available platform, preferably open-source with limited specific developments. The new solution had to be ‘on-premise’ and connected to the Interministerial State Network (RIE) so that it could also be accessed to the entire Ministry of the Interior and run on NEO 2 smartphones.

**The solution**: GoFAST GED was chosen by the French Police Academy because it perfectly matched what they were looking for, as GoFAST is open-source on a very powerful DMS functional basis, requiring only additional developments.

Precise specifications

The main specifications have been defined:

- **Development of job descriptions** with **metadata** and **specific management rules**.
- Concepts of **publication status** on the portal and **approval workflow**.
- Implementation of an **advanced search engine based on metadata**.
- **Intranet portal** for field agents to consult job descriptions.
- **Complete migration** of files and documents with **recovery of existing metadata**.
- **On-premise** installation and security certification in the **Ministry of the Interior's data centre**.
- Involvement of **key users** of the system to be replaced in the project.

Despite fairly precise specifications, the aim was to have an agile project and to remain as close as possible to the ‘GoFAST’ standard.

A PoC to confirm the choice

At the end of 2022, the **French National Police** assessed **GoFAST's ability to replace its internal DMS** via a **Proof of Concept**.

PoC phase (approx. 10 reference users):

- **Specific metadata** for a category of files (Practical Files).
- Development of the **advanced search engine**.
- **Testing the migration** of standard files.

PoC assessment: GoFAST confirmed its ability to meet business needs, offering a robust and customised solution.

‘**CEO-Vision was able to deliver a tailor-made version of GoFAST, perfectly suited to our operational requirements**.’

Major project milestones

Once the PoC was completed, the steps were as follows:

- Iterative **development over 18 months** with **regular validations** in an integration environment (SaaS).
- CEO-Vision was commissioned **to take over and maintain the Portal section** with its scalability challenges.
- **Installation** in the SGAMI (General Secretariat for the Administration of the Ministry of the Interior) **data centre in Lyon**.
- **Migration** of **files** and **documents** and **integrity checks**.
- **General acceptance** **testing** followed by **activation of the service at national level**.

The objectives achieved

**Business adaptation**: specific data sheets and metadata meeting operational needs.

**Successful migration**: service continuity and optimised access for field agents.

**Reliability**: robust and secure platform, hosted on-premises.

**Strategic choice**: reasonable adaptation of a standard GoFAST solution, enabling optimisation of development and operating costs.
