In the context of ICT Strategy 2009-2014, the European Parliament has launched three major programs under the responsibility of DG ITEC, the Directorate General for Innovation and Technological support. • eParliament • Paperless (eCommitee) • Knowledge Management • The three programs aim to improve: • The legislative and parliamentary document production • Their publication, search and dissemination • The mobility of the Members and agents of the European Parliament
Program Mandate Business objectives Facilitate document creation Facilitate document verification Minimise input errors Facilitate reuse for translation Facilitate reuse for publication Reduce cost over Life-cycle of documents Provide digital signature 4 technical objectives Use of XML A central repository for parliamentary texts production Set up digital signature Set up a pool of reusable functions Vision & Strategic Alignment
At least 10 document repositories Repetitive manual actions in the process of document creation with the inherent increased risk of handling errors and wasted time Inefficient signature process which rely on paper IT systems developed in “Silo”: persistence of duplicate code to perform similar services in different applications Current weaknesses
Scope and Benefits Production Dissemination Translate Receive Create Update Sign Verify Disseminate Paper Internet Intranet Improve document creation Improve reuse for Publication Improve document verification Improve reuse for translation Provide electronic signature Improve reuse for Internet dissemination Improve reuse for Intranet dissemination Minimise input errors Reduce time (cost) over Life-cycle of docs Improve quality of text

Why KM for EP? An “EP worker” typically consults a considerable amount of information sources daily
Why KM for EP? An “EP worker” typically consults a considerable amount of information sources daily
Why KM for EP? An “EP worker” spends a lot of time searching within all this information Where can I find a document? What is the latest news? How does a system work? Who knows what? What is the context of a document?
Why KM for EP? An “EP worker” typically collaborates and shares information with many different people
How can I manage all this? Why KM for EP?

Planning will depend on the findings of the activities launched in 2012 • Portal v2 (advanced features) • Integrated search(otherinternalsources, external sources) • Deployment of a collaboration tool May 2012 • Portal v1 • Integrated search (Register, Oeil, Europarl, Eur-Lex) • Relevant Sources 2013-2014 2012 • Contextual aggregation • Pilot project – collaboration tool (end of pilot phase) Pilot project – collaboration tool (functional analysis) Nov 2012 June 2012 KM Governance Board – Working groups Roadmap
The Programme comprises: KM portal, integrated search engine, content aggregation and collaborative workspaces. Governance Board with representatives of the Political Groups, the Members’ Assistants and the Directorates General has set up 3 working groups dedicated respectively, to the KM portal, the identification and selection of relevant sources and the SharePoint pilot project "collaborative workspaces". Version 1 of the portal is planned for May 2012, while version 2 will be available in Q1/2013. The conclusions of the SharePoint pilot project are foreseen at the same time. Planning could be reviewed following the works and conclusions of the working groups. The indexing of the parliamentary documents’ backlog (6th and 7th terms) is close to completion; current production started in February 2012. Conclusions
The KM (beyond the technical solution) is mainly a culture that will have to be developed long term in a structured and continuous process. The role of DG ITEC is to support this development, but it will also be essential for users to embrace this culture to allow the Parliament to reap the benefits. Conclusions
