La realidad latinoamericana en gestión de documentos electrónicos

Abstract

Developing IT and data transmission technology in Latin America is reflected in the legislation on electronic documents and digital signatures. Within this regulatory framework, the electronic government is being implemented as part of the modernisation of states. Its main objective is to optimise the relationship between the State and citizens through information and documentation services offered by the public administration. Document management stands between these components, given that the aforementioned services are based on public archive documents in different formats. In the following paragraphs we will explore these problems by looking into the reality of document management in Latin America.
