Creation & Management

Almost 80% of the content in a company is available in an unstructured form. A very large proportion of this content is available in the form of PDFs, Microsoft Office documents and e-mails. Methods that are very complicated in some ways are often still used nowadays to create documents.

Creating documents

ELO provides the user with all of the functions and tools needed to create documents. When creating, functions such as versioning and check-in/check-out ensure that any changes that are made are transparent.

Documents can be sent simply by e-mail as a link when needed or standard or ad-hoc workflows can be initiated using the workflow functions integrated as standard in ELO. Important documents can be assigned an electronic signature. If information is to be published on the Web, ELO WCM can be used to simply publish information from the hierarchical archive structure on a website.

Managing documents

As a central corporate repository, ELO facilitates seamless integration into all other business applications. Only in this way is it possible to make various information and documents, such as, for example, an invoice, a customer offer, a construction drawing or accompanying e-mail correspondence, available to an employee in relation to a process, without having to change to each individual business application.

The hierarchical archive structure in ELO corresponds to the traditional way of working and thinking with which we are familiar. Documents are located in folders with a register while folders are located in filing cabinets. The archive, filing cabinet, folder, register structure makes it possible for the user to intuitively file the documents in the right place in the archive.
