What is Electronic Document Management?
Also known by the acronym EDM, Electronic Document Management is a tool that allows your business to capture, store, manage, edit, validate, access, archive, and dispose of documents efficiently.
This management capability is key to storing, in a unified and centralized manner, a large volume of digital documents. Compared to physical or printed documents, they are easily scanned to become readily accessible electronic elements.
One of the main purposes of EDM is to streamline daily work, contributing to better employee performance and productivity. Imagine how much time a professional spends searching for a contract with a specific supplier among physical files.
Wouldn’t it be much more practical to search for a keyword directly in a system and have access to all documentation digitally?
Or worse, what would a professional, working from home, do if they needed a specific manual to do their job and it only exists in physical format, in the company that is miles away from where they live? A noteworthy fact is transforming the company into a paperless environment, more sustainable and responsible towards environmental issues. Not to mention issues related to loss, misplacement, and leaks of information.
As you have already noticed, EDM furthers digital transformation throughout the entire company, including of course for documents.
