The Transforming Parliaments webinar series promotes peer exchange amongst senior parliamentary staff (including ICT directors, CIOs and others) on innovation and technology trends that are driving the digital transformation in parliaments. The webinar series is part of the ongoing exchange of good practices since the 2021 virtual World e-Parliament Conference. It is organized by European Parliament and the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil in their capacity as hosts of the IT Governance hub and the Open Data hub in the IPU’s Centre for Innovation in Parliament. The first webinar series was first held in October and November 2021.The 2nd edition of the Transforming Parliaments webinar series, entitled “Digital transformation in archiving” took place on 5 September 2022.
What is digital transformation in archiving?
Digital transformation is leading to innovation in the archiving of parliamentary records. Parliaments are increasingly faced with questions of how much to digitally archive and for which purposes.
Should legal compliance be the sole aim? Or should parliaments also ensure the communicability of data for the sake of transparency? How are these aims impacted by data protection laws and needs to manage sensitive information. Watch this webinar to learn how other organizations – including from outside parliaments – navigate such demands in the digital era.
