EDMS = Electronic Document Management Systems

EDMS - is an innovative division of SaNaS Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Which provides digital document management. Using scanning, storage, and retrieval systems, Electronic Document Management System Services helps various Companies, Factories, Hospitals, Government Department, Colleges and University departments convert stacks of paper records into electronic files that are easily accessible

Introduction to the EDMS
Today large organizations are faced with an increasingly growing blizzard of electronic and paper documents that clog the channels of communication and block the flow of work. The result is a hardening of these organizational arteries that can send productivity and quality plummeting!
To solve this problem, many companies have turned to Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS), a set of products and services that let users electronically store, locate, filter, retrieve, share, publish, and track document-based information throughout the document's life cycle. Done correctly, EDMSs reduce costs, minimize errors, and improve the quality of products and services. These are competitive advantages most organizations can ill-afford to ignore.
EDMSs also help improve productivity. Consider that the average worker spends half a day working with documents (Computerworld April 10,1995). By reducing the time it takes to create, find, and distribute documents among work groups or throughout the enterprise, EDMSs can significantly increase productivity, ensure quality, and help speed products and services to market.
While EDMS is a proven technology, it's still an emerging one. Information Systems staff members must be prepared to combine a jumbled and random assortment of product offerings from imaging/workflow, publishing systems, and database vendors to develop a complete document management system. EDMS implementation can be by department, or work group or enterprise wide. Because nearly every organization has operational or resource documents it must track and manage to achieve its mission, the applications for EDMS technology are practically limitless.

Electronic Document Management Systems can provide benefits in any area where access and control of documents is required. One such area is a Computer Aided Drafting Environment. In this CADD environment, draftspeople and engineers spend the majority of their time working with, or examining technical drawings. Since a typical engineering project can contain hundreds of drawings, the ability to quickly find a required drawing can vastly improve productivity.
 

The CADD EDMS implement environment examined is a mixed platform system consisting of Unix workstations and DOS based PC's connected via a TCP/IP network. Thus any proposed EDMS product must be available for both UNIX and DOS, and must maintain functionality across both platforms. Since Oracle V7 database servers are the standard, only EDMS products, which leveraged this standard, were considered.
Variety of system are available in many configurations, depending upon an organization's budget and needs.

How EDMS will help us?
EDMSs can reduce costs, minimize errors, and improve the quality of products and services. EDMSs also help improve productivity, considering the average worker spends half of his or her day working with documents.
