Multiple Deployments Of Electronic Document Management Software

Organizations that select quality electronic document management software don't have to make drastic changes to their IT environments or strategies in order to accommodate an the software deployment. A customer-driven philosophy and open architecture make quality electronic document management software suitable for practically any environment regardless of existing IT resources.

Onsite or OnLine
Despite electronic document management software's acknowledged rapid deployment and low reliance on professional services, many organizations find that they cannot deploy an ECM solution as rapidly as they would like. One of the only advanced hosted ECM solution offered and supported directly by the software developer, quality software is ideal for organizations with IT restrictions, budgetary requirements or an outsourcing business model. Authorized electronic document management software solution providers and OnLine professionals provide consultative expertise to recommend the most appropriate solution.

SysTrust-certified, OnLine allows organizations to quickly enjoy the functionality and benefits of document management software in a completely outsourced SAS 70-certified data center. OnLine has also been granted Microsoft certification in Advanced Infrastructure Solutions Competency with the Hosting Specialization. OnLine provides the option of purchasing perpetual licenses and hosting them in the secure data center or a subscription-based model for the use of the software and infrastructure.

Maximizing the Value of All Technology Investments
Quality electronic document management software's functionality fills the gaps between existing applications by eliminating redundant, disjointed and manual processes, and its open architecture makes it easy to incorporate into existing environments or adapt to new technology investments. This allows organizations to take a strategic enterprise approach to increasing productivity and standardizing processes.

Because of its capability to act as an extension of existing applications, this software's Application Enabler can be implemented to index and retrieve documents directly from the enterprise applications workers use daily. With minimal impact on end users, Application Enabler can be used to generate bar-coded separator sheets, prompt workflows and complete template-based documents directly from line-of-business applications such as ERP, accounting, student information systems, hospital information systems or loan origination systems.

Dedicated integrations provide even tighter connections between the electronic document management software's documents and workflows and enterprise applications. For example, the SAP-certified OnBase Connector 2.0 for use with SAP ArchiveLink links documents generated outside of an SAP solution to SAP business objects, provides a mechanism for archiving print lists and saves outgoing documents as PDFs. This module also supports bar code import and keyword synchronization. Other dedicated electronic document management software integration modules have been developed for Microsoft SharePoint, Oracle eBusiness Suite 11i, Esker DeliveryWare, healthcare applications from Epic SystemsCorp. and geospatial information systems (GIS) from ESRI.

Incorporating industry-standard messaging streams, such as Microsoft BizTalk, EDI 835/837, HL7, XML and DSTU X937-2003 and more, makes it easier to foster communication between internal systems and/or with partners. Quality electronic document management software supports Web Services to foster rapid integration between enterprise applications.

Quality electronic document management software commonly also has partnerships with specialized forms processing vendors, specialized storage solutions and other hardware and software manufacturers.
