Case Study

Successful go-live of digital archive at CIBG

In order to comply with the ‘Archiefwet’ (Archives Act), the CIBG had to switch to a digital archive. With the help of NLX Software, a digital archive system has now been set up.

As an executive agency within the Ministerie van VWS (Department for Health, Welfare and Sport), the CIBG is responsible for a wide range of products and services. Examples include the BIG-register (a government register for individual health care occupations), and Donorregister (a government register for donors of organs and tissues). To satisfy the Archiefwet, the CIBG wanted digital archiving of the information within these products and services. With the help of NLX Software, a digital archiving system has been designed and all CIBG products are being linked to RijksDoc step by step.

About the CIBG

The CIBG is responsible for registers and platforms related to health care such as the Donorregister, BIG-register and UZI-pas (an ID card for care providers). These enable secure digital exchange of data in health care. The CIBG has a staff of almost four hundred, many of whom deal with the processing of register applications.

Rijksdoc for CIBG

The case in brief

RijksDoc is a platform offered by the Dienst ICT Uitvoering (DICTU or ICT Implementation Service) as a service to ministries and their executive agencies in order to archive digital information in a structured way. RijksDoc makes it possible to design a sustainably accessible digital archive.

  • The Archiefwet requires governments to make and keep information sustainably accessible.

  • Information management at the CIBG was inadequate so that the agency was not in compliance with the Archiefwet.

  • With RijksDoc, DICTU offered the CIBG a standard solution for a digital archive.

  • NLX Software was responsible for technical implementation and gave advice on the optimal design of a digital archive.

I’m very impressed by the project team’s capacity to get things done. These types of issues often drag on for many years within government organisations. This was also the case at CIBG. But when we got going again, the team followed an approach that produced an excellent result just one year later.
