Iknow - Document Management

One of Iknow's core strengths is document management. Document management is a set of business processes and technologies for managing the “document lifecycle”, i.e., the creation, approval, use, retrieval, revision, archival and disposal of documents. The term documents loosely applies to all forms of electronic (digital) information, including text, images, data, audio, video, and all types of digitized paper documents, forms, and scanned images.

Commercial document management software is generally capable of organizing document production and managing document accessibility and distribution, as well as overseeing document workflow. Other features of commercial document management software packages include capabilities for monitoring a document’s current status and for allocating resources for performing specific document creation, review and approval-related tasks. Document management software typically also includes the ability to perform full-text searches on stored documents as well as a method for categorizing them.

Business value from document management is achieved by providing real-time access to digital forms of paper-based documents, by providing access to documents 24/7 and across multiple locations, and by incorporating document automation into core business processes. The ability to find, share, and reuse documents quickly, when needed, shortens business process cycle times and reduces internal costs.

Iknow has deep expertise in managing all phases of document management projects, from initial requirements gathering through system deployment. We have worked on projects of various sizes and scopes and across many functional areas in different industries.
