Web Imaging—A Crucial Component In Your Document Management Solution
There are many reasons companies implement Document Management systems. They centralize important business information, reduce document processing time, and streamline workflow. However document viewing is commonly considered an integrated part of document management solutions when not all systems offer integrated viewing capabilities. Advancements in Internet and Web applications have provided powerful tools for image and document viewing without requiring a heavy investment in additional training and infrastructure.
There are several considerations that should be evaluated when selecting a viewing application to maximize the benefits of your document management system. These include:
- What are the benefits of integrated imaging support for retrieving, displaying and annotating documents within a document management system?
- Can a thin client web viewer built on HTML be used to allow users secure access to documents and images from server repositories in ASP systems?
- What type of viewing applications are available for your platform?
- How do you implement and support a viewing solution?
Read the entire article to learn more about these important considerations.
