How can Enterprise Content Management solutions help your electronics and manufacturing workflow?
Tech and manufacturing companies create immense amounts of content - product designs, patents, legal documents, factory reports, and more - and this is all content that must be managed, organized, and accessible by workers. More and more, workers at these companies need information and they need it fast - productivity depends on how quickly they can get the information that they need. And, managing such a large variety of information presents its own problems - how is a company to manage their business information, protect their intellectual property, and conform to regulatory standards effectively and economically?
PaperFree offers a suite of powerful content management solutions designed to handle these paper burdens; smart capture products to scan and digitize information, repositories to process and store data, as well as add-on solutions to expand the capabilities of these systems.
How does it work?
The process of enterprise content management for electronics and manufacturing enterprises is straightforward in concept. Paper-based information (such as product designs, intellectual property documentation, and more) is collected at the first point of contact and scanned into the system. There, industry-leading capture solutions ingest and interpret the data against established rules and templates, quickly returning accurately digitized data that can be exported to a processing workflow. Those workflows, customized for your individual enterprise, can handle any of a number of tasks automatically; accounts payable, manage vendor data, or even update project files. In many cases they also link documents together, so all information relating to an invoice or a design file are available together, without the need to search through endless folders. Operators are only required to step in when there's a workflow exception or a step is designed to require approval, significantly speeding up the process from paper document to usable data. Once those workflows are complete, the data is stored for easy later lookup by those with established permissions to do so.
Though enterprise content management is simple in concept, it's much more complicated in execution. That's why a trusted, experienced partner like PaperFree is your guide for how to maximize the functionality and economies of your content management system.

Legal & Regulatory Compliance
Like many other industries, manufacturing organizations are subject to a variety of regulations - EPA, FDA, and product safety regulations are only a few of the standards that they must adhere to. Enterprise content management systems eases this burden by enabling your industry to maintain accurate, comprehensive reports for regulatory review. Workflows assist in making sure that no steps are missed in the process and that all of the correct assets are available. And, documentation for legal cases can be easily organized and reviewed by only those with permission to do so. Visit our Legal and Administrative Solutions page to learn more.
Member Management
Many companies offer discounts, special offers, and directed advertising to loyal customers, but these programs require management of information too - plans, terms and conditions, applications, member profiles, and more. PaperFree offers solutions to create, capture data for, and manage such programs to assist you in rewarding and keeping frequent customers. Visit our Member Management Solutions page to learn more.
Human Resources
Human Resources departments are one of the most paper-heavy departments of an organization. The paperwork is endless: employee files, benefits forms, disability paperwork, payroll, reports, applications, memos, etc. - this burden can slow down any department. With data capture and electronic management, these files can be managed and retrieved quickly and easily. No more lost paperwork or piles of things to file - everything is automatic, streamlined, and accessible by those with proper permissions. Employees enjoy faster responses to their inquiries as well and the overall process is more streamlined. Learn more about Human Resources solutions from PaperFree.
Redaction

BlackMark is a manual redaction solution that offers a variety of redaction options and annotations, and BlackMark+ offers automated redaction of a variety of configurable document types.
