The purpose of these guidelines is to provide advice in the
selection, purchase, implementation, and use of Electronic Document Imaging Systems. These
guidelines comprise recommendations and standards developed by a wide range of
organizations, both technical and end-user. These guidelines were developed to assist in
assuring that Electronic Document Imaging Systems acquired by governments in the State of
Georgia meet existing legal and operational requirements. Following these guidelines
offers no guarantee as to a system's integrity being questioned. However, following the
recommendations outlined in this document affords a defensible system which documents the
users' good faith efforts in employing the best existing standards in this field.
These guidelines, and the work group assigned to create
them, recognize the timeliness and obsolescence of Information Technology. It is hoped
that these guidelines will be treated as a living document, subject to change and
improvement like the technology they represent.
Electronic Document Imaging Systems are computer-based
systems that store digitally encoded document images. These systems provide image
retrieval and distribution on demand. They are an alternative to paper or microfilm record
systems. MORE >>
