Ministry of Tourism highlights cooperation with STATUM for implementation of ApiaDocumentum and ApiaTramites

The portfolio is one of the four ministries that achieved the goal of the Online Procedures Program

Information:

The Ministry of Tourism is one of the four portfolios that reached the goal of the Online Procedures Program; in other words, 100% of its procedures are available on the Uruguayan State unified procedures portal (www.trámites.gub.uy). Likewise, it has also joined the Electronic File project to continue working for a state without papers.

To meet these objectives, the Ministry of Tourism has worked together with STATUM, developer of both platforms, in a synergy that Carlos Berruti, the organisation's director of information technology, has described as "cooperative".

Asked about the main contributions that the Ministry of Tourism receives thanks to the use of ApiaTramites and ApiaDocumentum, Berruti highlighted: "Transparency in management, security in processes and the gradual elimination of paper." Moschino Outlet

And he added: “Our implementations were relatively fast; in the course of a year, approximately. At ApiaDocumentum we have been working at full capacity since it was put into production; At ApiaTramites we are still finishing fine-tuning details ”.

Currently, ApiaTramites collaborates with the monitoring of 23 procedures:

- Declaration of interest.

- IMESI Exoneration Request.
- Request for Videos for Tourism Promotion.
- Complaint or Complaints of Tourist Services.

- Request for Face-to-Face Attention of Operators Registry.

During the processes for the implementation of the systems, the agency's personnel were trained on a mandatory basis.

By 2020, Berruti indicated that it is expected to update to ApiaDocumentum 2.0 to obtain usability improvements and new features that make daily operations more efficient.

ApiaTramites is the platform 100% adapted to the AGESIC Online Procedures Model, which allows the implementation of Online Procedures to be carried out easily, intuitively and dynamically for interaction between the citizen and the organization, with an "agile methodology" that allows the agency's own officials to get involved in the definition and parameterization of the procedures, appropriating the knowledge of the implementation for subsequent maintenance with their own resources.

For its part, ApiaDocumentum is a solution designed to manage files, documents and workflows, supported electronically. Its objective is to eliminate paper support, improve the quality of service and achieve transparency and democratization of information.
