About commercial VEO creation products
This page lists products that Victorian Government agencies can purchase from vendors to generate valid VERS Encapsulated Objects (VEOs).
PROV currently supports two types of VEOs:
- Version 2 VEOs (created under the requirements of PROS 99/007 Management of Electronic Records Standard and its Specifications)
- Version 3 VEOs (created under the requirements of PROS 19/05 Create, Capture and Control Standard and its Specifications). These VEOs are more flexible than Version 2 VEOs as they allow for multi-level, hierarchical folder structures.

Version 3 products
PROV recently issued PROS 19/05 Standard and Specifications. It is anticipated that vendors will soon start to produce products that are capable of generating Version 3 VEOs.
As this occurs, PROV will list validated Version 3 VEO creation products below.
Version 2 products
The Version 2 products listed below are certified against the requirements of the now superseded VERS Standard, PROS 99/007 Standard and Specifications.
The requirements in PROS 99/007 extended beyond VEO creation, and covered other digital recordkeeping areas that are now incorporated into the PROV recordkeeping Standards.
However, agencies can carry on using and purchasing Version 2 products. PROV will continue to:
- Accept digital record transfers in VERS Version 2 VEO format.
- Test current vendor products against the PROS 99/007 requirements until 30 June 2021. (After this time, PROV will only test vendor VEO creation validity for VERS Version 3 VEOs against PROS 19/05 requirements).
Please note the products must comply with PROS 99/007 Specifications 2-5 to generate valid Version 2 VEOs. Products certified as “Partially VERS Compliant” do not comply with all of the Specifications.
