Many businesses that are new to digital operations start with using simple file sharing systems like DropBox, Google Drive, Sharepoint, or file-based ERPs that have a lite version of document management. But they soon outgrow these basic systems and realize that they’re missing out on powerful timesaving and productivity features from a comprehensive document management system.
We live in an era where connectivity and collaboration are the pillars on which our workspaces are built.
The writing is on the wall—the cloud is the preferred technology to manage files remotely. The popularity of apps such as Google Drive and DropBox is a testament to this. However, as some IT professionals say, cloud-based storage simply refers to storing your files someplace other than your computer’s hard drive!
Many small businesses use cloud file-sharing systems because the base level is free, they’re easy to use, and they allow you to share files with people inside and outside the organization quickly.
Technically, you can use DropBox (along with Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud, etc.) to backup and store your documents. But while these file sharing systems work well in a personal or consumer context, they don’t fare so well at the professional or enterprise level.
On the other hand, full-fledged document management systems help organizations go paperless, develop robust digital workflows, create hybrid workplaces, and optimize workspace efficiency. In fact, document management is the foundation on which digital transformation is built.
Let’s look at some aspects of cloud-based file-sharing systems compared to comprehensive document management systems (DMS).
Online file storage, document & data-based workflows, and sharing services can play a huge role in letting you collaborate smoothly no matter where you’re working. Document management systems have been steadily moving away from local storage on-premise to remote, cloud-based storage and processing.
EZOFIS by Quantic Solutions provide an integrated and secure document management solution, seamlessly integrating document or data capture, document storage, editing, workflow, and retention in a single platform. EZOFIS functions as a centralized controlled document repository that provides a ‘single source of truth.’ It enables digital collaboration for employees in organizations by enabling fast, reliable, or secure access to documents.
A full DMS has robust indexing capabilities, making search and retrieval quick and easy—this is crucial for users. EZOFIS has advanced indexing features so you can perform a full-text search with fast rendering of multiple results and in-depth search capabilities.
A DMS features advanced version control that allows the document owner to approve and lock down the final version of that document and ensure that only that version is visible within the system. EZOFIS allows for granular control of what users can see, manage, or share through robust information access and security options.
A DMS enables digital workflows and makes auditing easy for compliance programs like ISO 9001. EZOFIS automates repeatable processes, saving time and money by identifying and smoothing out bottlenecks in your workflows. Leverage its BPM features to trigger digital workflows to automate repetitive tasks and free up your workforce for more mission-critical tasks.
EZOFIS is a powerful platform that allows you to create robust applications that meet your organization’s content needs without relying extensively on your IT development team. EZOFIS is priced for mid-market companies but is powerful enough for enterprise applications.
