Secure Document Management Application for the Parliament of a 100M+ Nation
Summary
A system integrator was developing a complex document management system for the parliament of a nation of more than 100 million people. INNERLUXES was commissioned to build the Windows tablet application that gives parliamentarians a smooth document flow — an intuitive, secure tool with role-based access, document review and approval, rich attachments, a read-only meeting mode, and full offline capability with automatic synchronization, delivered in two months.
About the Client
The Client is a system integrator with 470 employees and a record of 600 successful projects across banking, finance, oil and gas, telecommunications, healthcare, e-commerce, and other industries. Over 15 years in the market, it has partnered with major technology vendors.
The Challenge
The company was developing a complex document management system for the parliament of a country of more than 100 million people. INNERLUXES was commissioned to create the application for Windows tablets to help parliamentarians achieve a smooth document flow.
The Solution
The app's user interface was designed to be highly intuitive, so users could perform tasks in a snap. Resembling an email agent, the tool applies role-based access control to let users browse documents in folders, read and approve them, or send them back for revision. Document attributes — title, summary, commentaries, and attachments (audio, images, PDF, and voice records) — are available without leaving the app. A read-only mode for unauthorized users is convenient during meetings and plenary sessions.
The ability to work both online and offline offers continuous access to the document flow. All changes made offline are automatically synced with the server once an internet connection is available, and users catch recent updates via push notifications.
The Results
- Within two months, an INNERLUXES team of one architect, two .NET developers, and one tester delivered the app in line with the requirements.
- The tool received positive feedback from the parliamentarians, who now actively use it to streamline the legislative process.
