Reasons for upgrading to an Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) are:
- increase in the volume of documents;
- different geographical locations of employees working with the documents;
- lack of transparency in document processing;
- lack of analytical insight required for management decisions to optimize workflow.
VoiceLink workflow and contract management solution is capable of processing the following types of documents:
- incoming documents;
- outgoing documents;
- internal documents;
- internal regulations;
- contracts.
It also allows you to automate the following tasks:
- maintaining an organizational chart;
- working with document revisions;
- batch scanning;
- tracking acting (temporary) appointments;
- sending email and text notifications;
- analytical reporting.
EDMS has a number of business advantages. They include:
- Quick decision-making and implementation: the information is quickly conveyed to various management levels, decreasing the time it takes for a document to be drafted and approved.
- Higher transparency and manageability: decisions are made, implemented and controlled in an automated fashion, and statistical tools are used to make performance reports and control performance discipline.
- Easier collaboration of various company divisions: all of them share a single EDMS.
- Quicker document approval: documents are automatically forwarded to relevant persons.
- Lower risk of loosing documents: EDMS is capable of tracking the location of the originals.
- Reliable current data for decision makers: a single electronic document repository with streamlined document management procedures can encompass a number of separate companies.
- Quicker access to documents and related data: EDMS supports attribute and full-text search within electronic documents.
- Lower labour intensity, operating costs and time costs: some paper documents are replaced with electronic ones, thus lowering labour costs of making copies and delivering paper documents.
- Harmonization and standardization of forms and document management protocols across various companies.
