| |
| The challenge to manage increasing volumes of paper files is becoming 'unmanageable', while the costs associated with document handling are escalating. |
| |
| Enterprise Information Management (EIM) is a technology designed to manage digital content by providing companies a means to create, store, manage, distribute and publish content both internally and externally. It was developed to manage non-numeric content such as documents, web pages, e-mails, spreadsheets and images. |
| |
| Business Requirements |
| |
The Datacentrix Optimisation business unit has built its EIM offering based on business requirements including:
| • |
compliance; |
| • |
secure creation, archiving and deletion of corporate records; and |
| • |
the ability to maximise integrated enterprise content and increase operating efficiency. |
|
| |
| Businesses can minimise risk, improve productivity and efficiency, consolidate investments, lower cost of ownership and establish best practices with EIM systems. Companies are also able to scale their EIM business applications as requirements evolve. |
| |
| EIM Lifecycle |
| |
| Datacentrix' EIM solutions join a number of collaboration, content and process technologies into integrated solutions that work together to capture ideas, experiences and knowledge. The EIM solutions manage the complete lifecycle of electronic documents, from their creation, archiving and deletion. The following interactive diagram illustrates Datacentrix' view of the EIM lifecycle. |

|
| |
| EIM Technologies |
| |
| EIM is an amalgamation of different technologies. Technologies that connect people to people - such as e-mail, instant messaging, and workflow - deal with working collaboratively. Collaboration technology links processes and individuals and creates a work environment where teams can share and circulate their ideas, experiences and knowledge. |
| |
|
| |
| Technologies that connect people with information - such as search, document management, web content management and archiving - deal with all the content accumulated by the business. |
| |
| With EIM, knowledge is automatically captured as a by-product of collaborative work, and is transformed into corporate knowledge. |
| |
| Datacentrix Solutions also provides EIM solutions on the Microsoft technology platform using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) to deliver corporate intranets and document repositories, customised and branded to a client's unique specifications. Datacentrix has implemented a range of document management workflow processes - rapidly automating forms-based business processes such as leave approval, S & T claims, IT procurement and credit card applications. |
