Physical Archives Management Competitors
This cathegory provide software focused on Physical archives management.
They added digital document management also, but the focus stays strongly on physical ones.
Digital Documents Management Tools
This constitutes the majority of the competition.
In this cathegory, softwares don’t provide any physical archives management functions.
They bet on paperless world and ask their clients to scan everything before working on documents.
Ultra specialized Solutions
In this cathegory systems provide only Accounts Payable document management or pay slips archiving.
So, if client wants to automate several workflows, he has to buy and maintain several software packages.
It is not only price issue, but maintebility and interface efforts between softwares.
ERP integrated functions
Many ERPs provide built-in document management tools.
The majority of these functions are only documents attachment to a specific data.
For example, in accounting package, you can view the invoice by clicking an icon aside the information.
The advanrage of this kind of function is seemless integration because everything is already in the ERP.
Inconventients are multiple:
- If you have several tools, you will need to install several document management packages. For example, if your HR package is different from Accounting one, you will need to separate document scanning process for each one
- These tools are very advanced in their field. But they have functionalities holes for document recognition, barcode reading, PDF files splitting, etc. So, you must prepare manually your documents before archiving them
- 100% of these solutions don’t provide Vault capability
