How to optimize the process of office mail/correspondence managament?
Electronic document workflow is the process of how documents pass through various stages of work in digital form. As part of this process, documents are processed, transmitted, stored, verified and signed electronically, and passed on to subsequent stages or users in an automated manner. E-document processing aims to replace traditional paper-based and physical document processes, which are more time-consuming, costly and complex. Therefore, through electronic document processing, business processes can be accelerated, work efficiency can be increased and the risk of loss and unauthorised access to confidential information can be reduced.
Nowadays, there is no longer any need to follow the classic path of a company’s paper workflow. A much better solution is to introduce a system that makes it possible to transfer these activities electronically. The office correspondence workflow will then be much better optimised, which will benefit the company, the employees, as well as contractors, suppliers or subcontractors.
