The Bureau of Meteorology is calling for tenders for the implementation of an Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS) that is expected to cost from $1-1.5 million.

Australia's national weather, climate and water agency wants an EDRMS platform to support compliance with Commonwealth records management obligations, especially in relation to records in an electronic format (documents, email, digitised hardcopy, etc.).

It is also aiming to achieve efficiencies through more effective whole-of-organisation record management, search and retrieval.

Increased efficiency through the development of business process automation solutions is a major driver for the bureau.
