Description

Learn how to implement an inexpensive but straightforward document management system at an individual level, with a workgroup, or for a small business.

Consider situations where one may have to locate essential documents in 10 seconds or less or where they need to ensure that all digital information is safe and secure. Would the improvement of efficiency in workflow help? With a little planning and guidance, the realization of this and other benefits associated with a paperless office is possible. No one expects an entirely “paperless” office, but reducing the amount of paper we shuffle can lead to tremendous rewards. In this course, learn the best practices and proven processes for efficient document management.

Also, learn how to implement a more sophisticated and comprehensive document management system—complete with automated workflow processing—that would be appropriate for larger offices and organizations. Receive guidance through issues such as digitizing hard copy files, exporting and importing data from specialized applications into a document management system, key hardware and software considerations, and the policies necessary to facilitate a successful office. Upon completing this course, walk away with a comprehensive understanding of the options available and a clear direction of how to implement a paperless office.
