Document Management & Workflow
Digitisation of work processes and daily activities
At the heart of any IT system and day-to-day operations areu:
- work processes, transformed into activities and tasksi
- the goods, data and information with which it operates
- human resources who act and are decision-makers at certain nodes in the process
The end result must be the completion of the process, from input (through the information going into the process) to output (deliverable)
The use of an electronic document management system, whether at departmental or organisation-wide level, can bring tremendous benefits, both for those who work with the information on a daily basis and for management.
For companies that provide services and products to customers and partners and want to respond quickly to their needs, it is important that working with documents and information is fast, predictable and secure.
This considerably improves the efficiency of the activity, reduces the costs of handling information, achieves a correct traceability of documents, and achieves a better structuring of information. It gives management better control of processes.
These solutions connect people with the organisation’s resources and work processes to create a strong bond in the company.
Workflow solutions are a natural complement to document management and content management systems, delivering the information that needs to be processed quickly and accurately to the people who need it, either at a departmental level or extended to the whole organisation.
The process of document movement within the organisation is transparent to users, the traceability of the document and its status (approved, working with a specific person, rejected, etc.) can be easily tracked.
Advantages of a document management system
The introduction of a document management system, in any organisation, provides:
- better control over internal processes and information
- consolidating information, providing management support for internal and business decisions
- an efficient way of internal transfer of information, knowledge, ideas
- improving project collaboration, document exchange
- quick retrieval of information
- reduction of approval/clearance time for internal requests (reports, applications, etc.)
- reducing administrative costs
- automation of certain activities in order to reduce the time allocated to them
- the possibility of electronic archiving of information
The solutions and services are comprehensive and cover virtually any type of implementation, ranging from solutions that are useful within a department to solutions that cover the entire organization, regardless of size or geographic distribution. Document management and content management solutions can be implemented on a stand-alone basis or integrated with other business applications.
