Decision Making

Support sound administrative and managerial decision making.

With a complete history of all activity that can be produced for each document in the system, PaperWise provides mangers and administrators with the information they need to always be informed about their organization. From the original capture date and time including user and initial index values, each time the document is viewed, annotated, re-indexed or printed; the system will create a log. Managers can see what actions have already taken place as well as monitor the status of work in progress for each employee or department in real time.

One of the most important benefits of capturing paper documents to electronic files is the ability to monitor, route, locate and control documents as they progress through your business process. PaperWise provides a way to enforce workflow for documents and the ability view dashboard gauges or reports on the status of all work pending or completed in the system.

Once routed to the system, any document can be tracked and monitored in real time to show the exact location and to report the number of documents in every processing phase, eliminating guess work on the workload of each employee based on the stack of paper in their inbox.

With automated workflow, users cannot sidestep policy or forget critical steps in the business process because it enforces business rules. Workflow routes documents or information with absolute accuracy through individual processes established by the administrator. The flexibility of PaperWise allows easy exception handling and can accommodate even the most complex processes.
