Document Management - ALFRESCO

Document Management - ALFRESCO

Document Management System (DMS) is a system that used to manage the life cycle of documents in each phase. DMS handles documents electronically, from the document is still in draft form, reviewed, published, stored, and eventually deleted/destroyed. Document Management System is a component of Enterprise Content Management System (ECM).

Process your documents efficientlyeasilymore secure

Some concepts/functionalities of Document Management System :

  • Metadata. Metadata is information/propety owned by each document. For example, if we have a document type "Receipt", then the metadata of the receipts are: amount, payment date, receiver
  • Workflow: Collaboration in DMS facilitated through the workflow. Collaboration can be a form of assignment or approval. Assignment workflow : an employer requires his/her to revise the report. Approval example : staff requests leave to be approved by superiors
  • Versioning: every update of a document can be tracked. DMS save the history of each version of the document
  • Security: security feature is a mandatory feature of a DMS. Users need to be able to restrict other users' access rights to documents
  • Searching: If company already has thousands of documents, then this feature will greatly facilitate user searching to obtain the necessary documents.
Some problems :
  • The difficulty of searching for a document, especially searching based on some parameters. For example: looking for documents created within a certain period and by users, with certain descriptions, document numbers and specific projects
  • Difficulty determining documents with the latest version because every employee has a different document naming format, and we often do not know who holds the latest version.
  • To get a physical document, requires considerable effort, starting from finding out the position of the physical document, retrieve it, and deliver it to people who need it.
  • The amount of office space and file cabinets, is not proportional to the high growth of documents. It would be better if the office space is used for something else, rather than just being a document storage.
  • High risk of losing documents. Physical documents are vulnerable to damage, especially if a natural disaster results in companies losing documents as an important asset
  • Security, permissions for each document are very specific. We need system to handle the security.
Above problems can be handled if the company has a Document Management System (DMS). Huge number of documents owned by company/organization needs to be handled by an integrated system.

The advantages of Document Management System :

  • Increased productivity - increased productivity can occur in searching for documents and document broadcast
  • Cost efficiency - using the Document Management System, companies can reduce the paper purchase
  • Robust Security - electronic documents can be stored in a centralized
  • Accelerate access to the required documents, each user can directly open the DMS application and access the required documents according to the permissions they have
  • Speed up document distribution and sharing
  • Access the required documents from anywhere, as long as there is an intranet or internet connection connected to the DMS server
  • Set permissions and security. We can specify which group or user who has access to view, read, update/edit, and delete a folder/document.
  • Tracing Audit Trail history of document changes
  • Make searching to be easier. If we forget where the document storage folder is, we can rely on the search engine owned by DMS.
  • Manage working document easily
  • Increase collaboration speed in company
