Reduce Storage
Scanning of documents in the form of paper, can reduce the need for storage space.
Document retrieval is more flexible
The time required to retrieve documents would be less, without leaving the desk. And storing the documents in electronic form would reduce the risk of data loss.
Flexible Indexing
Document and image content can be stored in the ECM and can be full text indexed for searching.
Search functions more complete, fast and flexible
ECM can search for content or documents by using the word or phrase in the document or the content (better known as full text search). ECM can also do the classification for every content and documents.
Controlling Documents Distribution
Document Imaging facilitate electronic distribution of documents with colleagues and clients through a network. In document imaging, the cost can be reduced because the distribution of documents need not be done with paper, and reducing office activities such as printing and shipping paper documents.
Improve Security
ECM provides flexible control and better, especially for confidential documents. ECM provides access rights that can be arranged at the folder level, document level, group level, divisional level and individual level.
Disaster Recovery
ECM provides an easy way to backup documents in off site storage. Using ECM also reduce the risk caused by natural disasters that may occur.
No Lost Files
Loss of important documents could have a major impact and can spend lots of time to replace it. With ECM, the document remains stored centrally, so nothing is lost or misplaced. Even if one puts in the ECM, the document can still be found quickly and easily through full text searching mechanism.
