ERP applications do a great job at managing structured data, which is the data that resides in databases, typically related to transactional information. However, approximately 80% of the average organization’s data is unstructured (images, Microsoft Office documents, email, etc...), as research from AIIM (Association for Image and Information Management) indicates. Content Management systems are designed to manage unstructured data much as ERP systems manage structured data. In most organizations, these two information sources are completely separate. By combining these two islands of information, organizations can move to the next levels of efficiency and compliance.

The key to better utilization of an organization’s data is using it within the proper context. For example, invoice images need to be associated with the corresponding invoice record within the ERP system. Spreadsheets with journal entries need to be connected to a batch within the General Ledger system. By properly linking structured data within an ERP system to corresponding unstructured data, organizations can truly leverage all of their Information assets to be more efficient and comply with today’s stringent government regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

DocSavi provides the benefit of a tight integration, linking Content Management systems with the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). Oracle EBS is a fully integrated, comprehensive suite of business applications for the enterprise. The solution provides Oracle EBS users with direct access to documents stored within leading Content Management repositories like those from Oracle, IBM, OpenText and EMC.

The integration leverages standard Oracle workflows and can be configured for all EBS Modules. Specific document examples include: AP (Invoices), HR (W4s, resumes, HIPAA forms, personnel reviews) GL (journal entries), Projects (Contracts), etc.

Companies are constantly looking for ways to improve the performance and efficiencies in their operations. One of the primary reasons for implementing a content management solution is to automate paper-based processes reducing the time required to process documents such as loans, insurance claims and invoices. Front-end processing of these documents has led to great gains in efficiencies, but still has fallen short of the potential. Until now...

ViewSavi is an intuitive and feature rich solution for those who need to immediately retrieve, view and manage multiple related documents and associated metadata at once. Rather than searching through folders of documents, bringing up one document at a time as they look for the one document they need, users can now view all of the related documents at one time, quickly and easily via thumbnail views. In addition, they can quickly view the full-size images simply by placing the cursor over the thumbnail view.
