Electronic Document Management System

How an Electronic Document Management System works

Though still relevant, the use of paper for documentation is fading, being replaced by electronic forms of communication. For now, in most organizations, both physical and electronic documents are used concurrently. This inevitably means that information is scattered – paper documents are in the filing room, Word and Excel documents are in a variety of sometimes random folders, and emails are buried deep inside inboxes. There is also tons of information in databases that would be more useful if integrated with the documents. See how an Electronic Document Management system works, read more.

Needless to say, finding all the information needed at any given time in such a scenario can be tedious and time-consuming, sometimes even impossible. It is possible to have a system where all relevant information, regardless of their original format, can be accessed within seconds from the comfort of a computer. And one doesn’t even have to be at the office. Such a system is called an Electronic Document Management System (EDMS), and is something we at Techedge specialize in setting up, having done so for clients in financial services, manufacturing, trade and hospitality, among other sectors.

We blend this data with the relevant documents. In the end, you should be able to find whatever information you need, on one system, within a few seconds, from wherever you are – whether from the office, while working from home, or while working remotely from anywhere else around the world.
