DMS transforms document-based electronic information into knowledge assets with an enterprise-ready platform that facilitates the capture, sharing, and protection of corporate content resources. User queries are easily executed across global DM repositories, enabling users to find and control documents and easily distribute them for review, collaboration, and publication with project teams inside and outside the traditional corporate landscape.

DMS helps organizations:

• Increase productivity by providing faster access to content, facilitating rapid document production, and minimizing time spent looking for or recreating information. DMS takes advantage of existing IT investments at the user’s workstation by seamlessly melding with both the Web and Windows Desktop environments and integrating with common e-mail and authoring tools. Users can therefore spend less time learning how to use DMS and more time leveraging shared corporate knowledge.
• Foster better decision-making by enabling access to all document-based information across the enterprise. From documents and graphics to images and engineering drawings to paper and electronic records, content is consolidated in a unified corporate knowledge base to reduce the “islands of information” prevalent across many global organizations.
• Speed the flow of knowledge with the capture and index of SQL metadata and document content, enabling enterprise-wide queries to help work groups find the right and relevant information when and where they need it. Companies gain competitive edge by making critical business decisions more efficiently and effectively with valuable information stores leveraged for thousands of Intranet and Internet users.
• Relieve administration burdens with a scalable platform and distributed infrastructure designed to maximize system availability and performance so that users can consistently accomplish their content-related tasks. Rapid deployments are achieved without visiting workstations, and maintenance is simplified with web and Windows utilities supporting centralized as well as delegated system management.

    DMS Administrators are well equipped to manage their content infrastructure, able to rapidly configure the DM environment, customize the repository structures and forms, import legacy content and metadata, integrate applications, deploy user interfaces without visiting workstations, and manage document retention and storage disposition.
