Documenting ERP
May/June Edition, 2008: ERP software provider SYSPRO has released new document management software for mid-market manufacturers, claiming it can further ‘green ERP’ capabilities and increase efficiency while ensuring compliance.
The company says this new solution is aimed at growing businesses who want to reduce paper while improving efficiency, and as a result the new document management system comes with enhanced workflow features.
Called Document Management for SYSPRO, the software enables organisations to access, manage and automate the routing of all digital content, including scanned paper documents, e-mails, faxes, print streams, application files, e-forms, Web content and multimedia files. It is embedded into SYSPRO’s standard ERP solution set, enabling workers to access and manage these documents directly and without leaving applications.
The software also provides an inherent document trail that protects and verifies the integrity and security of unstructured documents. Annotations can be added to all documents, and revisions of internal documents can be produced/altered as required.
The company adds that its?increasing use of electronic document management aids in the reduction of paper use, and by extension a reduction in the number of trees cut down thus adding to its green credentials.
“The manufacturing sector continues to be pressured by a?number of cost and efficiency factors that SYSPRO has deep vertical?market experience in addressing,” said Joey Benadretti, president of SYSPRO USA. “We have always been?focused on opportunities to automate activities and reduce production schedules, but we increasingly are?adding new efficiencies for addressing areas like FDA and Sarbanes-Oxley regulatory accountability.”
