The Electronic Document Handling (EDH) system is an internal CERN system for creating, submitting, tracking and approving administrative and technical requests via electronic workflows.
EDH was born in 1991 when John Ferguson and Achille Petrilli of AS Division launched the Advanced Informatics Support project. This had the mission of providing a cost effective way of reducing administrative overheads and providing a modern user-friendly interface for its users, allowing them to focus on their core activities. EDH was a key component of the project, aimed at providing electronic versions of CERN's administrative forms. From leave requests to purchase requisitions, over 100 different paper forms were in use at CERN. These were frequently filled in manually, retyped, approved, signed, and finally retyped again into the appropriate system—not the most efficient way of doing things.[1] [2]
