XBP Europe has been selected by His Majesty ’ s Passport
Office ( HMPO ) as its technology and services partner on a nationwide project , which aims to make documents dating back to 1837 digitally available to the General Register Office ( GRO ).
This multi-year contract in the UK has an approximate total contract value of US $ 40 million .
The GRO , part of HMPO , maintains the national archive of births , marriages and deaths for England and Wales . This project is one strand of a wider transformation program for GRO to update its systems and services .
With some records dating back to 1837 , the GRO faces significant document quality issues , which complicates the process of making them digital . Varied record formats must be handled , paper records are often faded , and microfilm can be of poor quality .
XBP Europe will use its hyper automation AI led IDP platform and XBP Europe Global Centre of Excellence to transform how these records are shared and stored . This will help the GRO to keep pace with new smart technologies .
