Compliance of ERMS Software for TS 13298 Functional Requirements in Public Institutions

Ceyhan Güler

In case of implementation of software projects for electronic records management systems in public institutions, it is important in the context of e-Government applications to prepare the project technical specifications in accordance with TS 13298. The aim of the study is to examine the technical specifications of the ERMS implementation projects of 7 public institutions that are accessed via the Electronic Public Procurement Platform (EKAP) of the Public Procurement Authority and reveal the compliance of these specifications to e-Government applications. In technical specifications, in order to evaluate the compliance of functional criteria (FC), 70 requirements are sought under eight headings. Heading are file classification plans (FK1), retention schedules (FK2), capture of electronic records (FK3), sharing of electronic records (FK4), ERMS usage features (FK5), access control and security (FK6), system design and management (FK7) and the security of the archival system (FK8). The document analysis method was used in this study, which involved the years between 2015 and 2018. As a result of the research, 7 public institutions whose technical specifications were examined that provided the criteria at the following rates: 58.03% to FK1, 3.57% to FK2, 71.42% to FK3, 57.14% to FK4, 92.20% to FK5, and% to FK6. 65.17, 89.28% to FK7 and 25% to FK8. In addition, a comparative analysis was also made with the results of pre-2015.

Kamu Kurumlarındaki EBYS Yazılımlarının TS 13298 Fonksiyonel Kriterlerine Uygunluğu

Ceyhan Güler

Kamu kurumlarında elektronik belge yönetim sistemlerine yönelik yazılım projelerinin uygulanmasında, proje teknik şartnamelerinin TS 13298’e uygun olarak hazırlanması, e-Devlet uygulamaları bağlamında önemlidir. Araştırmanın amacı, Kamu İhale Kurumunun Elektronik Kamu Alımları Platformu (EKAP) üzerinden erişim sağlanan 7 kamu kurumunun EBYS uygulama projelerine ait teknik şartnamelerini inceleyerek bu şartnamelerin, e-Devlet uygulamalarına uygunluğunu ortaya çıkarmaktır. Teknik şartnamelerde, fonksiyonel kriterlerin (FK) uygunluğunu değerlendiren, dosya tasnif planları (FK1), saklama planları (FK2), elektronik belgelerin kayıt işlemleri (FK3), elektronik belgelerin paylaşımı (FK4), EBYS kullanım özellikleri (FK5), erişim kontrolü ve güvenlik (FK6), sistem tasarım ve yönetimi (FK7) ve arşiv sisteminin güvenliği (FK8) olmak üzere sekiz başlık altında 70 isterin uygunluğu aranmaktadır. 2015-2018 yılları arası uygulamaları kapsayan bu çalışmada, doküman analizi yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, teknik şartnamesi incelenen 7 kamu kurumunun genel olarak, FK1’e %58.03, FK2’ye %3.57, FK3’e %71.42, FK4’e %57.14, FK5’e %92.20, FK6’ya %65.17, FK7’ye %89.28 ve FK8’e %25 oranında uygunluğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca, çıkan sonuçların 2015 yılı öncesi sonuçlarla karşılaştırmalı analizi yapılmıştır.


EXTENDED ABSTRACT


In case of implementation of software projects for electronic records management systems in public institutions, it is important in the context of e-Government applications to prepare the project technical specifications in accordance with TS 13298. The aim of the study is to examine the technical specifications of the ERMS implementation projects of 7 public institutions that are accessed via the Electronic Public Procurement Platform (EKAP) of the Public Procurement Authority and reveal the compliance of these specifications to e-Government applications. In technical specifications, in order to evaluate the compliance of functional criteria (FC), 70 requirements are sought under eight headings. Heading are file classification plans (FK1), retention schedules (FK2), capture of electronic records (FK3), sharing of electronic records (FK4), ERMS usage features (FK5), access control and security (FK6), system design and management (FK7) and the security of the archival system (FK8). The document analysis method was used in this study, which involved the years between 2015 and 2018. As a result of the research, 7 public institutions whose technical specifications were examined that provided the criteria at the following rates: 58.03% to FK1, 3.57% to FK2, 71.42% to FK3, 57.14% to FK4, 92.20% to FK5, and% to FK6. 65.17, 89.28% to FK7 and 25% to FK8. In addition, a comparative analysis was also made with the results of pre-2015. Pre-2015, the rate of file classification plans providing requirements for TS 13298:2009 was 41.66%. It is seen that this rate increased post-2015, but it is not at a high rate. Capture of electronic records was 30% pre-2015. It is seen that this rate has doubled post-2015. When we evaluate the rate of ERMS usage features, it was 55% for pre-2015. Post-2015, it has been achieved a high rate of 92.20% compliance. Regarding access control and security, the rate pre-2015 was 55.55%. It is understood that this rate has not increased much post-2015. Finally, when we look at the system design and management, the rate which was 47.91% pre-2015. It is increased to almost 90% post-2015. Since there are no criteria regarding retention plans, sharing electronic records and security of the archive system, no comparison was made between pre-2015 and post-2015. It is clear that the lack of electronic retention plans for pre-2015, or their low compliance for post-2015 will lead to major problems over time, and how the transformation needs will be determined with the aging of technology will pose a problem for institutions. Because, in records management and archival activities, archival appraisal of records is made according to retention plans. That is, it will be difficult to distinguish between records that need to be permanent stored and records that need to be destroyed. As a general result of this research, it is seen that the rate of compliance with ERMS software in public institutions increased according to TS 13298: 2015 functional criteria. However, it is understood that the requirements regarding records management and archival system were generally ignored pre-2015 and post-2015. The reason for this, raises the possibility that the technical specifications may have been prepared by IT staff or according to the areas of responsibility of different departments. Therefore, the archivist or records manager might not be involved in the preparation of the technical specification. It gives the impression that the archivist and records manager are not involved in the project, or they are not employed in the said institutions or ignored if they are employed. Another possibility is that the archivist or records manager has a lack of visibility in institutions. Another general evaluation result of the research is that some institutions that do not provide the criteria in high rate have tendered for the maintenance and support services of the ERMS software every year. The claim can be seen as the subject of another data based study.
