ESM platform with a system for user inquiries - stage 1 - qualification

The Norwegian Parliament's current system for handling user enquiries, Footprints, is nearing the end of its technological lifetime and it no longer fulfills the requirements for modern, secure and effective case handling. For the users, the current situation means that inquiries need to be directed through several different channels – such as Footprints, email, telephone, SMS and physical attendance – which creates uncertainty as to where to address, who is following up, and what the status of the case is.

An ESM platform will not only replace Footprints, but at the same time give the Norwegian Parliament a common technological foundation for several types of work processes in the long term. Thus, the project addresses both the need for a new user inquiry system and the strategic need to ensure growth when the organization is ready for it. The aim is to use a system that is secure, scalable and based on standardized processes and integrations. The platform approach facilitates further digitalisation, better data quality and more fact-based decisions. It also supports the Norwegian Parliament's need for efficiency, automation and overall management information. Future situation When the system is implemented, the Norwegian Parliament has adopted a flexible and scalable platform that supports user inquiries as the first process, but which is also rigged to handle several work processes over time. The platform enables gradual development where the Norwegian Parliament itself manages the pace, at the same time that the tenderer contributes with the necessary competence for configuration, development and implementation and its best practice and experience from other customers.
