Specific software tools supporting business procedures within the Office: general description, characteristics, advantages, possible improvements
The IT system provided thenecessary background for the Office’s official and service activity, and supported its tasks related to e-governance. The system supports 135 different services or service families altogether. Out of these 69 service families provide direct support for the performance of the Office’s official and central tasks, and an additional 66 services support the operational, service management, information security and ISO certification objectives of the previously mentioned functions.
In order to ensure a higher level of information security, in 2014 the Office prepared once again a risk assessment analysis of its electronic information systems and adopted a plan to reduce the risks. It classified its systems into security categories in accordance with the relevant legal provisions, and took the necessary steps in order to increase the level of security in the Office.
The IT activity of the Office is made easier by the fact that two of the three certifications of the Office belong to the IT field: the ISO/IEC 27001:2005 Information Security Management and the ISO/IEC 20000-1:2013 IT Services Management Systems.
The aim of the SZEMAFOR (‘Modular Data Base and Process Management System for IP Protection’) programme is to replace the crucial IT business management system of the Office with a new electronic system. The SZEMAFOR project was started in 2012 and financed partly from EU funds, but it was stopped by the Office for objective scheduling reasons; in June 2014 it was re-started under the name of SZEMAFOR programme within a new framework and exclusively with internal financing. So far all the official business processes of HIPO have been electronically mapped and the possible introduction of electronic payment is being considered. The digitalization of official documents continued as well: approximately 27,000 documents were digitalized in 2014.
