Electronic Document Management, EDMS, ECM ... What are the differences?
Electronic Document Management = digital management of documents. Document management includes the creation, processing, distribution and archiving of documents as well as the search for documents.
EDMS = Electronic Document Management System according to the definition of the Gabler Wirtschaftslexikon, a "software package for document management", which, in addition to the standard services, offers additional functions such as simultaneous access by several users to a document, multidimensional classification of individual documents and powerful keywording, as well as the administration and verification of access authorizations.
ECM = Enterprise Content Management is defined by AIIM as a dynamic combination of strategies, methods and tools that capture, manage, store, preserve and deliver information to support key organisational processes. A clear demarcation between an ECM and a modern DMS turns out to be difficult, since modern document management systems do not only manage and make documents available but provide contents of most different formats and degrees of structuring.
A surprisingly fast access to your documents
bitfarm-Archiv applies a new approach to the recognition of paper documents and uses Omnipage® OCR , one of the world's leading text recognition systems. Based on this, the EDMS implements a full text search, which, thanks to optimized database programming, brings the appropriate content to the screen in a matter of seconds, even from hundreds of thousands of documents.
This makes work pleasant - and works just as quickly and easily as searching the Internet. If the full-text search is not sufficient for certain tasks, our software offers extensive possibilities for indexing in the form of precisely configurable index fields. To ensure that users do not have to bear the costs of maintaining these index fields, rules automate the continuous loading of once learned document types. Data captured in this way can also be processed with other software systems (e.g. FiBu or ERP).
