Shifting to a ‘paperless office’ marks an important jump in any organization’s journey towards the next level of performance. And more often than not, it is the DMS (Document Management System) that lies at the heart of this transition.

Amongst other things, the ‘operation’ involves digitising paper files by first scanning them, and subsequently storing them. The crucial consideration here is that they need to be stored in a format that is “search-friendly”(apart from being compact, convenient and editable), so that they can be retrieved with minimum fuss and in minimum time when needed.

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is the technology that does this job. Typically, an OCR optimises scanned documents for search by turning printed matter into fully searchable digital assets that let you access and retrieve any word or phrase (across the document) instantaneously.

Before adding – or checking for – the OCR in your DMS, here are 3 important aspects you need to bear in mind.

The first is accuracy. In reality, digital scans can be far from perfect. And given the potential damage, the margin of error is zero. Go for an OCR with a sophisticated algorithm, a robust and reliable ‘engine’, and comprehensive support for your specific scenario.

Next, you must weigh in the conversion speed of the OCR engine. Choose an OCR that offers high speed processing with minimal system requirements in terms of CPU speed, RAM and others.

Thirdly, the output format that you need – PDF, text (word) file, image or any other – should play a deciding role in finalising the OCR specs.

In case your DMS software does not carry the required OCR features, there are various third party tools in the market that can help you upgrade easily with scalable OCRfeatures,including some variants which allow for integrating such third party OCR engines via a web API to your DMS. This kind of integration can help you leverage the benefits organisation-wide quickly and smoothly.

Cloud DMS Solution

A Cloud DMS carries a host of benefits for your business. If you don’t have a DMS Solution currently, or if you are managing documents using a simple file / folder structure on your existing file server, it may be worthwhile making the big switch to the Cloud. Before you do, however, here are a few vital things to keep in mind.

Cost

The cost of a Cloud DMS is influenced by a variety of complex features and performance, and needs to be scanned closely before-hand. Storage with low latency tends to cost more than one with high latency. Secondly, while archival storage comes at an affordable price-point, functions such as interactive and batch processing tend to command a mark-up. Data egress, copying data between data centres, frequent large transfers and automatic versioning will also attract a higher cost. Cost will perhaps not be a big deterrent when it comes to switching to the Cloud, not least because of the substantial savings it will deliver in the long run. You must nevertheless factor-in the full lifecycle of data to calculate the approximate costs, before taking that final decision.

3

Risk

Do a thorough risk assessment, touching upon aspects like security, backups & recovery, hardware failure, power disruptions and vendor disputes, to name some. On the topic of security, make sure you evaluate your potential Cloud DMS provider around server, encryptions, authentication & authorization controls, password policies, card building access, video monitoring, virus response, ‘intrusion/mal-function’ alerts and industry compliances. It is a sensible idea to minimize risks by choosing a Cloud DMS provider that has their infrastructure hosted on a High Availability, Redundant virtual cloud system with multiple network connectivity to mitigate against server or network failures.

1

Efficiencies

Check for speed and ease of core functions like document creation, storage, editing & retrieval, bandwidth for large files, versatility with all types of documents such as paper, electronic, fax, audio & video, compatibility with operating systems, frequently used applications, storage devices & emerging technologies, whether it integrates well with your business software (ERP and CRM, for instance) and whether it is accessible across devices including mobile.

2

Other

Other questions to consider are whether the Cloud DMS provider will allow you to use the ‘free trial offer’ before signing on the dotted line, is prompt & regular with upgrades (including sufficient testing time before implementation), has a well-developed training program to support your teams, possesses the infrastructure (bandwidth, servers, load balancers, servers, data warehouses, et all) to scale with you as your business grows and comes with both a robust financial base and positive references.

Finally

Go through the service contract with a fine toothed comb. Make sure it outlines every contingency and condition clearly. In particular, watch out for penalty clauses in case of unmet expectations, legal ownership of data (who ‘owns’ it), how quickly requests for data changes can be implemented and the process of getting your data back, when the service period expires.

A Cloud DMS can take your performance to the next level. Just make sure you get the basics in place, before subscribing to the services of your Cloud DMS provider.

First, Indexing saves time & effort by making document archival convenient and logical

Stow it right – and make sure you tag it correctly to retrieve it easily when you need it. That, in short, is the essence of document Indexing.

Document (or data) Indexing is a staple feature of any self-respecting Document Management System, or DMS. An ‘intelligent’ DMS leverages ‘meta-data field’ and/or OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to scan the information contained in a document and capture its essential traits. This ‘trait’ is then mapped to a pre-defined vocabulary-set to sort or archive the document into a suitable category.

Indexing-in-a-DMS

First, Indexing saves time & effort by making document archival convenient and logical

A smart DMS is Indexed logically. Which means that if you work with ‘text intensive documents’, a feature called Full-Text-Indexing will enable you to locate them conveniently by letting you search for them via textual phrases and portions. Similarly, transactional documents (like cash memos) are easily searchable because figures and number are used as the ‘search parameter’.

Then, Indexing aids productivity by making document retrieval easy & fast, too

Indexing-in-a-DMS

In document Indexing, the category against which a document is slotted (or ‘tagged’) depends on (A) the intrinsic nature of the document – i.e., whether it is a contract, an invoice, a purchase order or a technical record, etc), (B) ‘Intrinsic features’ of the document, such as its name, date of creation, name of creator, name of the project or department to which it belongs, etc, (C) special requirements of the organization – whence a contract may be categorized as a ‘technical’ record, for instance, or, indeed, a combination of (A), (B) and (C). So no matter how you are searching for content, a sophisticated Indexing system has all conceivable approaches covered, and you are bound to find your doc in no more than a few clicks.

A great DMS Indexing system lies at the heart of a workplace that’s low (nil, even) on paper, and high on performance. It’s worth the time, effort and cost to get one in place asap.

DMS Audit Trail

A document halts along several stops before it sees the light of day – and even after it does reach its intended final destination it has a defined life till which time it shall be retained. A document Audit Trail, as the name implies, is a formal, systematic and archived record or validation of the path followed by any document (and the ‘actions’ performed upon it) along its lifecycle journey. And it all begins with the ‘user’.

DMS-Audit-Trail

Users – ie, all workers of the organization or members of a particular project – are assigned rights to access and engage with the various documents in it. Depending on the sensitivity or significance of a particular document, different users can be assigned different levels of access rights, or denied the same via selective restrictions. In a large organisation this set-up may get unwieldy, so to better manage it access rights are delegated, with every team assigned a User Administrator to manage the access rights limited to their teams, making things more convenient and fast.

‘User Rights’ and ‘Delegation’ make ‘Audit Trails’ a necessary ‘Fall-back’ recourse to ensure the integrity and security of the organization’s critical documents.

DMS-Audit-Trail2

A typical DMS Audit Trail covers the following ‘actions’ that may have been performed upon the company’s documents by one or more ‘user’ – creation (of the document), viewing, modification, copying, deletion, searching, sharing, inviting other users, taking ownership of the content, starting a fresh ancillary theme or a new topic, and so on. A DMS Audit Trail sheds light on the ways in which people (who have shared access to a particular document) have interacted with it – and structurally comprises three elements: Login ID, a synopsis of system actions, and a time stamp.

For organisations that use a DMS fairly regularly (if not on a daily basis) to organise, share and store its files and documents, an Audit Trail becomes indispensable to the integrity of the system and the efficiency of its workflows.

DMS-Audit-Trail3

For one thing, it allows you to keep a tab on the identity of team members who have been accessing the files and documents in the system.

Then, it can act as a ‘lifeline’ in cases where a change in the document needs to be un-done. Being a chronological record of document activities, all one has to do then, is refer to the version before the change.

A sophisticated (‘technologically advanced’) DMS usually also sports value-added features like built-in Trail or Audit functionality, notification or update functionality (when an unauthorized person uses or accesses a document), and Trail log protection (this ensures that a Document Audit Trail, once generated, cannot be deleted).

DMS (Document Management System)

Change is the only constant, they say.

Nothing exemplifies this more than the series of drafts and versions (of, say, a document, database, file or record) that is inevitably created at work as a result of continuous feedback, revisions and amendments – especially where several members contribute to a single task. Document versioning refers to the way these different ‘dynamic’ avatars are managed and maintained in the run up towards the final piece that has to be approved by all stakeholders and parties involved.

There are several reasons why Document Versioning is vital to your organization’s DMS (Document Management System).

For one thing, it makes the potentially unwieldly activity of documentation breezy – automating and standardizing the method of recording changes across drafts and sub-drafts, facilitating review of action-history over time, and providing a systematic ‘life-cycle snapshot’ of the collaborative evolution of a document.

Document versioning also saves time, since access, creation, storage and retrieval of the many different versions becomes easy.

Another big upshot of proper document versioning are smoother work processes, as the former simplifies tracing of details and sequence of iterations, eases identification of the author or contributor (by filename, date and time), lends clarity of information and reduces errors

A robust document versioning approach can significantly optimize cost too – by eliminating duplication, for instance.
Finally, if you are doing document versioning right, you will be taking quicker and more informed decisions, thereby adding a significant competitive edge to your business.
