3. Production Image and Document Management (Specialized)

For higher-volume users (often process workers) who capture, create, classify, edit, store, and retrieve using common and advanced tools

Efficient capture, ingestion, and classification Minimize time and cost associated with information discovery by ensuring that content is indexed, classified, and recorded as a record as early in the process as possible Facilitate the discovery of paper documents when electronic tracking information is available

Mailroom and scanning operators Legal search of content managed by subsidiaries, business units, etc., for litigation discovery Compliance search of content for audit Corporate-level records management Unit and department records management in alignment with corporate
