Enterprise Document Management System (EDMS)
Paper Problems No More!
Enterprise Document Management System (EDMS) is the software application to store, manage, track, retrieve and share digitised documents and electronic files stored in a centralised server.
With EDMS, anyone and everyone with permission can access a file irrespective of where they are. The system takes care of the complete security and confidentiality of documents and is designed to simplify the otherwise complicated operations. Documents / files are stored in an encrypted format. Users can also access a variety of features like unlimited folders and file formats, content search, text / content search, document versioning, document routing, document retention and restoration, granular access control, APIs and transmission security.
Enterprise Document Management System
Storage in a Central Repository
Centralised storage minimises the risk of damaged or lost files, errors as well as redundancies and makes collaboration a breeze.
Fast Retrieval of Information
Systematic indexing allows valuable content stored in multiple repositories to be found and unlocked swiftly.
Availability of Audit Trail
Audit trail promotes compliance and prevents legal implications as there is more accountability and simplifies document tracking.
Promote a Paperless Environment
Digitisation of documents allows organisations to reduce its overhead and office waste by minimising the use of paper.

How is EDMS different from specialised systems?
Specialised systems include Enterprise Resource Planning software (ERP), Customer Relationship Management software (CRM), Human Resource Management System (HRMS), Electronic Medical Records system (EMR) / Electronic Health Records system (EHR).
Many tend to get confused between the functions of these specialised systems and EDMS. People often think that their organisation doesn’t need an EDMS if they are already equipped with specialised systems. We are here to offer some clarification. Rather than competing products, specialised systems work hand-in-hand and perform best when complemented by our EDMS.
The key differences between the systems are summarised in the table below.
| EDMS | Specialised Systems | |
| Ease of Retrieval | Documents are indexed and archived in a central repository integrated with third-party applications via APIs, allowing ease of retrieval from any system. | All documents are stored in a single file repository / directory with a naming scheme or proprietary format that ONLY the system understands. |
| Search Speed | EDMS utilizes a file system that works with key data stored in a database to keep search-speeds fast and databases small, even for heavy document-loads. | As database sizes increase, the ability to locate information within them gets slower, thus hampering staff productivity. |
| Content / Text Searching | Our EDMS allows conversion to text / content searchable documents. | Document content is not searchable as they are usually stored as an image file. |
| Storage and Upload Usage | EDMS helps you compress images and save storage. DMS also support the upload of bigger files in terms of GB size. | Specialised systems do not compress files when imaged, causing storage to grow exponentially. |
| Support for Retention Policies | EDMS supports file retention policies without sacrificing application speed and efficiency long-term. Plus, our EDMS offers features to meet your compliance needs. | Specialised systems remain where they are and continue to take up space even after you purge them from the system. |
