GHANA NAVY
The Ghana Navy has launched a paperless system that, it says, will save money, make administrative functions faster and decentralize access to routine orders. It also will let personnel share information person-to-person and between commands with greater ease.
The Integrated Management System was unveiled on July 1, 2022, at the Naval Headquarters.
In a statement, the Ghana Navy said the move was part of the chief of naval staff’s vision to “reduce the over reliance on paper/manual practices with a foremost aim at reducing the cost associated with running paper-based offices and embracing modern technological practices, which permits remote access.”
The system includes a collaborative work platform, data-sharing platform, e-library, routine orders dashboard, records and access control, training and events platform, and other features.
Vice Adm. Seth Amoama, Ghana’s chief of the defense staff, urged other service branches to follow the Navy’s lead. He said this would “enable seamless data harmonization and inter-connectivity of existing systems.”
