The Fundamental EDRMS Issues

Before you can implement Document Management, a number of fundamental questions need to be answered – we are perfectly placed to guide, instruct and assist you in addressing these issues;

  • How are documents created?

    This question becomes important when multiple people need to collaborate, and the logistics of version control and authoring arise.

  • Where will documents be stored?

    Where will people need to go to access documents? Physical journeys to filing cabinets and file rooms are analogous to the onscreen navigation required to use a document management system.

  • How will documents be filed?

    What methods will be used to organize or index the documents to assist in later retrieval? Document management systems will typically use a database to store filing information.

  • How will documents be found?

    Typically, retrieval encompasses both browsing through documents and searching for specific information.

  • How will documents be kept secure?

    How will unauthorized personnel be prevented from reading, modifying or destroying documents?

  • Disaster Recovery

    How can documents be recovered in case of destruction from fires, floods or natural disasters?

  • How long should documents be retained?

    As organizations grow and regulations increase, informal guidelines for keeping various types of documents give way to more formal Records Management practices.

  • Archiving

    How can documents be preserved for future readability?

  • Distribution

    How can documents be available to the people that need them?

  • Workflow

    If documents need to pass from one person to another, what are the rules for how their work should flow?

  • Authentication

    Is there a way to vouch for the authenticity of a document?

Example Implementations of Document Management

  • Financial Accounts

    Integrating document capture with document management, we have worked with a wide range of organisations to store and retrieve financial documents such as invoices for approval and payment.

  • License Management

    We have worked with a number of regulatory bodies to assist with the storage, retrieval, and sufacing of publically available documents through extranets and public web sites.

  • Health & Safety Documentation

    We have developed solutions for bio-chemical and shipping companies to store, retrieve and manage the life cycle of numerous health and safety related documents.

EDRMS Explained

    Electronic document and records management aims to enable businesses to manage documents and records throughout the life cycle, from creation to destruction.

    Typically, systems consider a document a work in progress until it has undergone review, approval, lock-down and (potentially) publication, at which point it becomes a formal record within the organization.

    Once a document achieves the status of a record, the organization may apply best-practice or legally enforced retention policies which state how the second half of the life cycle will progress. This typically involves retention (and protection from change), until some events occur which relate to the record and which trigger the final disposition schedule to apply to the record. Eventually, typically a set time after these events, the record undergoes destruction.
