PharAO: Die DMS-Lösung für die pharmazeutische Industrie

Among the obvious benefits of a computer-aided document management system vs. hard-copy or mixed hard copy/file archiving are the following examples:

Managing Documents without DMS	Managing Electronic/Scanned Documents with DMS
Original documents can be viewed and processed at one location only	Access to the original documents anywhere, any time (provided you have the appropriate authorization)
Redundancy and inconsistency due to shadow files	Files exist only as originals, and can be read or called up for processing at different places at the same time
Time-consuming distribution and retrieval of authorized copies	Publication of new document versions without time lag. Simply send an email containing a link to the new document.
Long waiting and processing periods	Shorter processing times, as files no longer need to be physically moved, and will be forwarded automatically to the next clerk in line
Low transparency of processes	Transparent processing cycle for documents due to predefined workflows
Unclear filing	Quicker document searches due to simple, structured indexing. Improved internal and external communication and availability of information
Document changes are hard to track	Clear change management and version tracking
Access protection only through physical containment	Efficient access and manipulation control
Steadily increasing demand for storage space	Minimal need for physical storage space in filing
Separate filing of multimedia data on disks	Electronic filing of all data
