Trends of 2017:
Let’s see what 2017 has got for us in this domain.
Mobility:
Off lately a number of companies operate with employees who are on the go. They may be working from other locations instead of traditional office, whether they are working from are at a business trip or anywhere. This has enforced the application of software that is compatible for mobility.
Sales team, logistics and distribution projects necessarily require on the go access. This emphasizes on the concept of document management system, and its significance in the current times. Not only should the doc software be easily accessible but it should be easy to use and understand for the employees.
Offsite operations:
With the document scanning software and seamless transition for the in-field construction businesses the ease of project handling has doubled. With the usage of smartphones and tablets, contractors, architects and engineers now can work with outdated instructions and drawings.
Taking the computer and smart devices on the field has increased the convenience with the mobile scanning software.
Collection of external information:
Up till now companies used to gather info and data on daily transactions which helped in the cause of forecasting trends for the future. But now the competition pushes to collect external information and data of partners and vendors through click-stream data software.
It allows the company to be aware of the customer’s interaction with the website and also from where the clients are coming from. Such kind of information should be stored in a location where it could be handled and analyzed when needed.
Cloud storage:
All the social sharing sites like facebook, instagram, and twitter have made exclusive sharing a thing from the past. Nowadays project teams can access a number of docs whenever they want and also they need to share them with their colleagues for quick collaboration.
Although security will be given utmost priority but businesses have the ability to deliver the best of both worlds by letting access where applicable.
In-line policies:
Two things that top the business priority list in 2017 are safe deletion of files and limiting liability risks. A secure document management system allows you the allocation of folder access in line with policies of the company. More people accessing specific files more are the chances of accidental deletion.
