IBM Case Study: GILFAM

Overview

GILFAM, the public organization whose mission is to automate the land registry in this area of France, engaged IBM to design, develop and run a system that would allow transactions to be made online, as well as maintain the authenticity of the transactions. In automating the land registry, GILFAM needed to find a way to make land titles and deeds available on demand, but only to those who need them. With electronic ownership deeds replacing paper records, authenticity and security were of primary concern. IBM designed and built an innovative information system to serve as the legal reference and clearinghouse for the owner of each piece of land.
