The Public Prosecution has ranked first in the world in the application of electronic file-tracking through RFID (radio frequency identification).
This is an improvement over its performance in 2014, when it was ranked fourth worldwide and first among Arab countries, the official Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported yesterday.
The system allows the tracking of files through RFID to ascertain the location, leading to quicker access to them.
The system also enables the viewing of file movement records from the moment it arrives at the Public Prosecution.
The application of the file tracking system at the Public Prosecution is considered the largest in the world in terms of the scope of the application and the results thereof.
This, in turn, positions Qatar in the lead in the application of this system worldwide, according to QNA.
At a press conference attended by Ibrahim Abdullah al-Qubaisi, the director of the Judicial Inspection Department at the Public Prosecution, information systems director Maryam Ibrahim Haji said that the Public Prosecution’s achievement is part of the implementation of the highest standards in the field of information systems and enabled by the largest project to track files in the world.
She noted that the adoption of best techniques in the field is in line with the directives of Qatar’s leadership to develop the judicial system and enhance its ability to keep abreast of rapid developments across all fields, and to develop necessary systems to ensure the independence of the judiciary and not prolong litigation.
A representative of Feig Electronic, the German manufacturer of file-tracking devices, highlighted the importance of co-operation with the Public Prosecution.
An official from Ogtec, which is concerned with implementation of file-tracking systems in Qatar, said that the project implemented by the Public Prosecution marks a breakthrough in terms of the high technical specifications and quality of devices used.
The Public Prosecution began implementing the system of tracking files in 2012.
