The decision to implement an electronic document management system is a serious one.   Choosing the right EDM solution is critical to the success of the initiative.  But equally important to the success of the initiative is the process used to integrate the IEDM solution into your current business process management infrastructure.

Each entity has it's own unique data universe in which every document involved with the operation of the business plays a role -- like a cog in a complexly-geared machine.   In order to fully maximize your investment in an IEDM solution and optimize its benefits, careful attention must be paid to how each of these "cogs" interrelate with the overall business process of the organization.

AEIC will conduct an analysis of your document universe to catalog all the paper that makes-up your various business processes -- and then map-out how each document is created, used, shared, stored, and referred to during its life cycle.  This analysis enables us to create an IEDM integration plan that optimizes how your IEDM solution is configured while at the same time minimizes the impact on the way your employees use the documents.

The IEDM integration plan will serve as a road map for your company's transition from paper-based to IEDM-based document management.  You can use the plan regardless of which IEDM solution you choose -- whether it's a DocuWare based system purchased from us -- or another system purchased from a different VAR.

Even if DocuWare isn't the right solution for you, hiring AEIC to perform a needs analysis and write an integration plan will prove to be a key element to the success of your decision to make the leap to the "less-paper" world.
