General document management is a fundamental pillar of any company's internal structure. It enables administrative documents to be easily organized, stored and retrieved within a digital library. These documents include those that are not integrated into specific workflows, such as supplier invoices, HR files, contracts, etc. In today's increasingly digital world, Electronic Document Management (EDM) is the key to efficient, secure document management. It is a key asset in guaranteeing optimal traceability, improved accessibility and considerable time savings.
The EDM transforms paper documents into digital files, while taking care of those already in digital form, creating a well-organized digital library. It makes use of advanced technologies, such as OCR (Optical Character Recognition), to facilitate document search and access. Thanks to version management, access control and auditing mechanisms, EDM guarantees document integrity and confidentiality. What's more, it fosters collaboration both inside and outside the company by simplifying document sharing and the collection of electronic signatures. Implementing an EDM system for general documents modernizes document management and supports regulatory compliance.
