Are scanned documents legally acceptable ?
See Legal Admissibility of information stored
on Electronic Document Management Systems for more details.
Paper files can cause problems. One file can only be in one place at a time, and
multiple copies are difficult to maintain. On-site storage costs may be
high, and off-site storage may cause delay. The Alliance Imager
electronic document management system scans
and indexes your paperwork comprehensively
and brings savings in storage space and costs. Instead of searching for that stray document,
Alliance Imager enables you to retrieve it on your PC and then view, edit and annotate it!
Alliance Imager can organise your scanned documents in two ways. It uses a
hierarchical cabinet, drawer and folder structure which enables the user to
label and fill them to their own requirements, ensuring that all information is
quick and easy to find. Alternatively, documents may be organised by saving key
fields in an index card format, creating a database with documents stored in
each record.
Once documents have been scanned they are
immediately accessible to everyone on your network. For large volume scanning,
there is an optional Batch scanning module.
Documents may be retrieved by either browsing
through the system or by searching for a given folder or document.
