A proper document management system can solve many potential headaches in a way that paper filing simply can’t match. We have already covered a long list of features and benefits in Part I of this article, but in this section we’ll outline even more.
It’s important to reiterate the fact that we still acknowledge the need for paper. After all, a handwritten letter or grocery list makes more sense than an electronic version of either. However, when it comes to managing documents for your business or personal life, paper documents tend to complicate the process.
Role-Based Security
It’s difficult to control access to paper documents. Generally, you’ll end up giving employees permission to access all or none of them. When you use our powerful document management system, you can assign specific roles to different users. Some employees may have access to accounting documents, others to HR documents, and some employees may only be given very limited access. Role-based security keeps your data safe.
Audit Trail
You no longer have to question your employees about what happened to specific documents. The audit trail gives top-level administrators the ability to see when a file was been changed, renamed, or deleted, as well as which user was responsible for that action. Audit trails can’t be deleted, and allow you to verify that employees are following your internal policies regarding document management.
Guest Editor Access (eFileCabinet Online)
At times it may become necessary to grant access to an individual outside of your company. eFileCabinet allows you to create guest editor access to manage specific documents together, while you keep full control of the user’s permissions.
Systematic File Versioning
It’s easy to accidentally overwrite a new file with an older version and vice versa. In some cases, you may want to keep a draft version in addition to a new version. eFileCabinet prevents you from mislabeling files and ensures that you’re using the most recent version of each document.
Salesforce Integration
eFileCabinet integrates seamlessly with Salesforce and you can view all of your files without leaving Salesforce. And when you sync Salesforce and eFileCabinet, any uploads or changes to existing documents will appear in both applications.
SQL Version
If your business is managing a lot of documents and users, you may notice that your server has trouble keeping up. eFileCabinet now offers an SQL version which gives you the boost you need. Sharing files has never been faster.
Active Directory
We verify user credentials for extra security, which means you spend less time setting everything up.
Enterprise Access
Larger organizations finally have a way to manage compliance, even across different offices and remote workers. Master account holders can access cabinet contents for each location to verify compliance, while the remote office has access to eFileCabinet for their local use. Ensuring compliance in a big organization has never been easier.
Full API Access
Unlike other document management systems, eFileCabinet offers full API access, allowing direct product-to-product integration or a more advanced white label or OEM partnership. There are also tools available to develop on the Apple iOS and Android mobile platforms.
Extended Hours Support
We take customer support seriously. Whether you’re having technical difficulties or need help setting up new user permissions, we offer support when you need it via phone, chat, email, and our extensive online knowledge base.
