Ciceron document and case management system supports digitization projects within the municipality

Customer story

Sollentuna Municipality wants to take advantage of all the opportunities that digitization offers and is constantly striving to provide even better service to both residents and businesses.

Equally important is the ability to streamline and have good IT support internally within the municipality, which provides good usability and support for the employees. Digitization and development within IT are important for how the municipality handles upcoming challenges and changes.

Project background

When Sollentuna Municipality faced a new procurement of a document and case management system in 2021, the needs were defined for a system that:

  • Supports the operations and digitization better.
  • Provides the opportunity to integrate with other operational systems and services.
  • Is easier to administer, so that the municipality can do more themselves.
  • Has a better management cost.

Therefore, the choice fell on twoday with the solution Ciceron document & case management system.

Sollentuna-1

Requirements & Needs Analysis

The project started in August 2021 and was planned to be completed during the fall of 2022. The project was divided into three phases: requirements and procurement, planning and preparation, and implementation. The first phase was completed in January 2022, and after the second phase was finished in early summer, the implementation project started with a tight delivery plan – to have Ciceron ready for use in operations during September-October 2022.

From the start in August 2021, each administration contributed dedicated resources that, together with the central project team, worked on requirements, evaluation, and preparations for the implementation. Essentially, the same group was involved throughout the journey, and the former reference group is now Ciceron super-users and ambassadors.

Important steps in the preparation and planning phase included analyzing case workflows, closing cases, and syncing project activities with the committee schedule. Everything in the previous DoÄ-system had to be converted and moved to Ciceron. The moving cleanup began, and many cases were closed in the twelve active registries. This was to ensure a smooth transition by having as much as possible in the closed status for easier mapping between the status in the previous DoÄ-system and the status in Ciceron. Planning to handle the committee process both before and after the move began since the operations would be systemless during the transition period.

Implementation and training

In the implementation phase, the trial conversion and training were good ways to learn and understand Ciceron. Adapting work methods and routines is not entirely easy and requires continuous work together over a longer period. This activity continues even after the project's completion. twoday's approach was to use existing functionality and suggest improvements that benefit not only Sollentuna Municipality but all customers.

During the rollout stage, the training was a major challenge. The training plan was to centrally hold training sessions for the super users, who in turn trained the administrators at their respective administrations. Short instructional videos and drop-in support were also available to provide users with good support.

In early 2023, the launch of the connection to the municipality's e-signature service for personal signatures takes place, and later also the possibility of sending to other internal and external parties for signing. During the spring, a connection of e-services to Ciceron for automatic registration is also planned.

Objective & Results

The objectives for the project were set early within the operations. The goals that the project would work towards were:

  • Work on requirements and prepare procurement documentation.
  • Procure a new municipality-wide document and case management system.
  • Prepare and carry out an implementation project.
  • Adapt work methods and routines.
  • Roll out the new document and case management system to the operations.
  • Establish management and support.

"What distinguishes the project and what we are particularly pleased with is the good cooperation with the operations. The project went smoothly thanks to the incredible commitment and support from the operations and municipal management. Also, the smooth collaboration with twoday, who work solution-oriented and deliver with experienced and knowledgeable consultants. We are satisfied with the configuration possibilities to retain previously established terminology", says Sofie Thorslund, administration manager at Sollentuna Municipality and continues:

"The timeline for the implementation phase was met – thanks to experience and clear routines both at twoday and the municipality's IT department. Packing and transferring the file archive from the previous document and case management system took almost exactly 24 hours."

Sollentuna-2

From the previous document and case management system, the following were moved:

  • 86 943 cases
  • 467 938 case documents
  • 43 410 stand-alone documents
  • 16.4 GB from the file archive

"We are impressed with the delivery capacity and the smooth collaboration with twoday. They have demonstrated deep expertise in the field of document and case management, as well as knowing their system inside and out and being willing to share that knowledge."
