ECM- and DMS-Systems are important elements of corporate infrastructure as they ensure the optimization of the cross-department cooperation and the long-term safe storage of documents. On the one hand, the systems have to comply with the organizational and legal requirements. On the other hand, they should smoothly integrate in the companies’ own information technology, which includes the use of the existing services, for instance, for user authentication, for e-mail exchange or index data validation. After all, replacement and migration have to be already considered during the implementation, as electronic documents might live very much longer than the IT holding it.

Comprehensive concepts including all of the above mentioned aspects ensure the long-term operational effectiveness and efficiency and enable an easy replacement by up-to-date systems.

How this can be done is further described on our methodology pages.
