»One crucial factor was SAPERION's server concept. Its architecture combines few maintenance efforts  with high scalability and extremely secure data replication.«

Document Management with the SAPERION ECM Suite

Selected Features & Your Benefits

Ad-hoc workflow

Organize ad-hoc processes in a decentralized way where they can still be managed and understood

All-in-One System

The primary components - archiving, DMS, and workflow - are provided by one supplier. This minimizes administrative efforts, reduces training costs, and ensures similar levels of user experience.

Connection to many storage systems

Potential for cost optimization: long-term storage on inexpensive tapes vs. "living" documents on expensive SANs

Archived data is compressed by up to 95%

Considerably decreases memory space required as compared to systems that do not compress data.

Automatic renditions

For the long-term storage of document types such as Word, Excel etc. which are usually non-permanent

Autonomy Integration

For large and complex projects in the context of Web 2.0 and Semantic Web

Directory Integration

Integration of the SAPERION user authentification into corporate structures and policies

Direct Capturing Support

Integration of single and batch scanning processes into SAPERION clients. This allows consistent processing and lowers the risk of media disruption. Scanning stations can be directly integrated into SAPERION workflows. As a result, the document's origin can always be proven.

Consistent Logging

Consistent "evidence of use" - from document reception to storage or delivery

E-mail life cycle management: ELM Exchange and ELM Notes

E-mails, which are an important part of records management initiatives, can be stored with all other corporate data thanks to a uniform storage architecture (simple generation of record structures for customers, projects, etc.)

Integrated software distribution

The system can be incorporated without any prior working knowledge of SAPERION.

Comprehensive authorization structure

Flexible assignment of authorizations (especially important in highly regulated industries)

Flexible import interface

Allows for automatic transfer of files or print files including Meta data while ensuring high flexibility and speed (keyword: batch processes)

Flexible user interfaces

Adapting to unique situations at a company or in a department results in only minimal costs

High information throughput

Proven for mass data management without major hardware requirements

Individual electronic signatures and batch signatures and verification

For completely paperless yet legally-compliant processes

Configurable Web client via HTML templates, CSS, JavaScript

Simple adaptation to corporate guidelines. Highly expandable

Short implementation time

The customer quickly realizes the desired benefits, such as increased productivity and security and a low total cost of ownership (TCO)

Mail-based workflows

Increased productivity as a result of workflow functionalities in HTML e-mails e.g. in Outlook (e-mail in-box becomes workflow in-box)

User interfaces and other customizing activities are managed as XML

This makes it easy to import and process data in other tools and applications

Mass signature and verification

When companies have the ability to exchange bulk data (like invoices) via e-mail or other electronic pathways, they can save money and simultaneously comply with applicable laws

State-of-the-art user interface

Direct integration with Office products and SAP® keeps training time to a minimum while increasing user acceptance

State-of-the-art multi-tier architecture

Improved performance and scalability

Multi-platform system

Easy implementation even into heterogeneous environments

Multiple releases in a workflow

The release process is accelerated because several SAPERION workflow items can be released all at once

Open interfaces

Smooth integration into existing IT environments and processes

Office Integration

Direct (revision-proof) storage in SAPERION ECM lets you find information more easily

Replication "built-in"

Security copies (mirrors) can be kept on relatively inexpensive storage media while faster, more expensive storage is reserved for the production system. Load distribution and failover for large systems

SAPERION InterServer

Keyword "content integration" (consolidation of diverse sources of content)

SAPERION Viewer & Annotations

Documents can be augmented and supplemented with "transparent" annotations without the need to change the original document (important to legal departments and in a workflow)

Signatures, encryption, etc.

Protects against unauthorized access; easy to integrate into electronic document exchange systems, like those used in accounting

Smart links

Information that would otherwise be separate can be linked for rapid navigation and creation of "knowledge networks". One example is the ability to link a scanned page to an e-mail

SNMP

Consistent view of a company's hardware and software infrastructure (investment protection)

Data retention of all information on the storage system

Complete data recovery is feasible directly from the working memory, even after a total crash of a SAPERION installation

Transparent creation of user interfaces for Rich and Web client

Reduction of implementation efforts for both Rich and Web clients

Support for CAD systems

The use of simple applications within the scope of product lifecycle management is feasible without high implementation efforts

Encrypted document exchange

High security - even via Internet

Distributed data storage

Rapid availability of documents at distributed sites - locally or worldwide

Web Gateway

Integration of SAPERION functionalities into Web-based applications with the same look and feel

Single workplace administration option

The operation of SAPERION can be organized and supervised from a central place

Workflow

Automated routines include history, role models, escalations, substitutes and reminders

Workflow audit trail is archived

Consistent evidence of processing activities (important in highly regulated industries with extensive obligations to produce supporting documents)

Certified Quality

Compliance with relevant standards of German law certified by an international auditing company (we are not allowed to publish its name)
