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

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.

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

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

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

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

Integration of the SAPERION user authentification into corporate structures and policies

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

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.)

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

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

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

Low costs for adjustment to meet individual requirements of companies or departments

Proven for mass data management without major hardware requirements

For processes which operate paper-free while maintaining legal compliance

Simple adaptation to corporate guidelines. Highly expandable

Desired corporate benefits are rapidly available, productivity and security increase, low total cost of ownership (TCO)

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

Permits for easy transfer and further processing using other tools and applications

The exchange of mass data (invoices etc.) via e-mail or via any other electronic way is supported. This leads to cost decreases and compliance with current legal regulations.

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

Improved performance and scalability

Easy implementation even into heterogeneous environments

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

Smooth integration into existing IT environments and processes

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

Replication is built-in Back-up (mirroring) can be stored on inexpensive memory while the production is operating on more expensive (faster) memory

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

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)

Protection against unauthorized access, simple integration of the electronic document exchange (e.g. in the accounting department)

Connection of information usually stored separately (e.g. scanned pages and e-mails) for rapid navigation and creation of "knowledge networks"

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

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

Reduction of implementation efforts for both Rich and Web clients

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

High security - even via Internet

Rapid availability of documents at distributed sites - locally or worldwide

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

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

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

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