DocuWare, a new way to access documents from home

When COVID-19 forced companies all over the world to send their employees home to work virtually, remote work had a big moment.

The rush to give employees access to all the tools, including easy access to documents, they’d need to work from home was a “sudden” for many employers. Companies had to look out for novel ways and tools to do this quickly. But after the early adapters settled in, what quickly became apparent to many office-based teams is that employees could be productive and focused when not in the office—in many cases, even more so. Employers everywhere began to understand that remote work really works, But only when they had been given all the right tools to be productive such as easy and quick access to important documents.

Covid-19 has shown us the need to adapt to great tools such as DocuWare to support businesses to increase performance to gain sustainability even during the Pandemic. DocuWare intelligent indexing allows managers and employees to instantly identify the most valuable information on a document automatically and convert it into highly structured, usable data and store it so you never have to make copies of the same document again. Employees can easily cut down unproductive time and focus on important tasks as this system does the operational and all of the document management without any human intervention. In addition, employees and managers can easily retrieve any data such as but not limited to customer history, inventory, invoices in any form for that matter with a simple search button from anywhere in the world.

This tool allows managers to measure a volume of work and evaluate and understand where the projects are heading and quickly make strategic decisions. Also, managers and employees have access to archives of data, evaluate, approve and forward to third party of their choice from anywhere. In developed world, this has been very widely used – as in the new normal, visiting office is becoming “a thing of the past”. All what you need is a computer or a phone to work.
