Logic behind Beyondoc

Beyondoc's design and development is based on 4 key elements that DYI believes are key to managing documents in any type of organization. These elements and company's understanding of these elements are described here:

Central management

Central management of documents (or central storage of documents) is the initial step into enterprise document management system. Traditional way of handling documents on individual computers or in email attachments, usually makes it very difficult to share, maintain revisions and track organizational documents. Document management system can provide to its users following benefits:

  1. Provides standardized corporate information structure
  2. Helps to achieve knowledge accumulation & re-use
  3. Enables effective information sharing
  4. Centrally secures all organizational's information and knowledge

Security

Companies need to allow open sharing of information while protecting sensitive information and intellectual property. Comprehensive document security strategies & policies have to be aligned with document systems. Document management system can provide to its users following benefits:

  1. Protects knowledge assets
  2. Prevents information loss & theft
  3. Provides relevant information to relevant users
  4. Enables to achieve compliance

Document lifecycle management

Most of all documents currently used in organizations are produced and used in team environments. Document management system has to support and increase the efficiency of teams by creating, editing, processing and reusing documents throughout their entire life cycle. Document management system can provide to its users following benefits:

  1. Strengthens information sharing and collaboration in organization
  2. Improves employee efficiency and productivity
  3. Provides transparency and accountability into working processes
  4. Helps to achieve compliance to organizational policies and regulations

Knowledge management

In order to manage your organization efficiently, it is important to be in control of your organizational knowledge. Especially when over 80% of mission critical business content is locked in unstructured data. By providing structure, organization and accessibility to this knowledge pool can improve operational results of organization. Document management system can provide to its users following benefits:

  1. Accelerates speed of access to organizational knowledge
  2. Improves decision-making based on relevant information
  3. Prevents duplication of work & costs by improving document reuse
  4. Reduces impact of staff turnover
