ELO has announced full certification with Austrlia's VERS (Victorian Electronics Records Strategy) records management standard.

“There are five certification areas in VERS” says Rainer Krause, Managing Director of ELO in Australia and New Zealand.

“The ELO software essentially complied out of the box for the majority of hurdles. Only when our software had to create the VEO (VERS Encapsulated Object) we had to adjust to the specific requirements.

"Going through the VERS certification process has been a very successful investment not only for the Australian ELO subsidiary. Even our overseas sister companies and Headquarters in Germany will benefit from this achievement. Our cost efficient ELO solution has finally broken into the Australian market, dominated by systems that are often expensive or cumbersome or both.”

“VERS is promoted globally and has been accepted and used by archival institutions, national and international Governments and local and global product vendors.”

Recent wons for ELO include Taronga Zoo and Newcastle Airport.

“Our successful implementations at the Zoo and Newcastle Airport helped us to understand better the particular requirements for Australian Records Management and the leading role PROV has taken in the world of preserving knowledge for the future” adds Rainer Krause.

“Having achieved VERS compliance is a great honour for us and we will make sure that a first class solution is delivered to every Government agency in Australia that chooses ELO as their EDRMS. Like German, Hungarian, Czech and Indonesian Governments now another agency has given us their seal of approval” remarks Karl-Heinz Mosbach, CEO at ELO’s HQ in Germany.

“All assessors and other staff at PROV have shown their deep knowledge in VERS and have supported our technical staff where possible; but at the end the product spoke for itself.”
