Q & A Time

What is electronic filing?

Any questions?

As you learn more about document management and electronic filing it often leads to having even more questions. We have featured the most often asked questions below…

With over 14 years of experience in document management and electric filing you can be assured that customisation is one of strengths.
We can customise any of the IO products using the smart configuration features already existing with the IO System Admin Tools.
Or we can write special features into the program to accommodate your needs, which we have done for many customers. You’ll be able to see some of these in action during an online demo.
Like anything, you will find both naysayers and advocates of the paperless dream. A paperless office is about using less paper but it is also so much more; it involves thinking about all the digital files, records, images, PDFs and even movies that you accumulate and access everyday.
As the world continues to move towards improvements in screen size, scanner speeds, online transactions and cloud based file sharing the paperless office is actually more achievable and desirable than ever. More and more people are realising that electronic filing and online document management is actually,
a) easier and more enjoyable than manual filing
b) far more productive when you need to find information
c) an effective solution to free up space

– If you are a healthcare provider or financial planner, compliance becomes worry free.
– If you are an accountant or lawyer, keeping tabs of complex clients cases become easy.
– If you are in project management, manufacturing or wholesaling, ensuring that your team has quick and easy access to your information when they need it could assist you to resolve an pending issue before it becomes troublesome or result in you securing a make or break deal ahead of your competitors.

Congratulations, simply asking the question means it’s never too late! You will join with the thousands of individuals who like you, used to believe it would be too hard to change to a electronic filing solution. They now wish they had made the shift to electronic filing years ago. You can discover how they made the change by reading their case studies – click here.
