Data Management Compliance

Organisations face increasingly demanding information and data management compliance requirements. All of the data and documentation generated across an organisation must be handled in strict compliance with a growing range of industry, national and international regulations. To meet these challenges, companies need to ensure that they have a robust and progressive document management strategy.

Large companies distribute thousands of documents for collaborative contribution and approvals. This file circulation raises the serious issue of how to control access to confidential document content. Knowledge managers need to establish clear and robust controls for document access rights. It is becoming increasingly critical for achieving compliancy that only people permitted to see specific information are able to gain access to the documents that contain it. The Document Manager software suite addresses these issues and helps enforce the compliance codes of practice by enabling:

• Auditing of every action in relation to each document
• Tight control over who is permitted to view each document
• Control over which actions each user is permitted to undertake in relation to each document

Additionally, Document Manager's workflow functionality digitally imitates the physical mail path that paper documents would traditionally follow through a business. Unlike paper processes, digital workflow enables strict user access control at every stage and requires no intermediary handling between the authorised users. The digital document workflow process achieves the same result more efficiently and with a great deal more security than could be achieved with a physical paper mail system. Document Manager can even control who is permitted to see selected areas and data within a document. Document Manager's workflow also enables users to implement sophisticated access rules. For example, varying approval-level hierarchies based on invoice value. These enable each member of staff to have a set approval authority limit. Invoices over a person's approval limit will automatically escalate to his or her line manager for approval.
