Advantages of eDMS
eDMS offers several advantages over the conventional file management systems. More that just document organization and secure filing, an eDMS helps you save a lot of time, operational cost, flexible features and more. Here are 7 advantages of eDMS:
Saves Time
With intelligent indexing, improved directory structure & powerful search capabilities an eDMS offers faster document retrieval which saves considerable time otherwise wasted in a manual search & retrieval of a paper-based document. It also provides an alternative to searching for documents on email which is unstructured and lacks the powerful search capabilities of an eDMS.
Lower Administrative & Operational Costs
The usage of an eDMS would reduce the administrative costs associated with tasks such as scanning, printing, filing, sending paper-based documents. The following can be reduced:
- Daily expenses for paper, toner, postal charges, etc.
- Purchase requirement for printers, scanners, shredders.
- Staff required to manage & distribute documents.
It saves operational costs on office space by eliminating the requirement for the physical storage of paper-based documents that might require a substantial area within the office space or the need to avail third party document storage or record management services.
Enhanced Security
By providing encryption, an option to set passwords, and manage access rights an eDMS offers a significant upgrade in terms of security versus a conventional paper-based document management system.
Creating backups is also easier to achieve due to centralized storage, offering organizations to be well prepared in case of disaster recovery.
Improved Workflows
An eDMS removes dependencies on paper-based processes within workflows through digitizing paper documents. It integrates with existing digital enterprise systems and applications such as an ERP, HRMS, CRM, and more to enable fluid workflows that improve efficiency and overall employee productivity.
Easier Collaboration
With centralized digital documents employees can collaborate within a department as well as inter-departmentally.
An often overlooked aspect is the movement of documents between departments within an organization. Using paper is often slow, requiring multiple copies of documents.
Centralized Storage, Anywhere Access
An eDMS would allow for all the documents to be stored digitally in a centralized location either on the cloud or on-premise. Files can be digitally accessed from anywhere by the users within the organization.
Coherent System
Since an electronic document management system can be integrated with several enterprise applications & systems it allows unifying document access by eliminating bottlenecks in the document flow between systems.
