Document Management
The features of document production make Filestream a perfect solution for document management, allowing information to be saved as a “tag” against the document. The system:
- Automatically records information which can be pre-determined (eg client, transaction)
- Can be set to include predefined tags to ensure that required information is completed by the user in the correct way
- Allows for the addition of categories of free text tags.
Document management gives greater flexibility for reviewing documentation than on a file basis, but users can find the concept difficult to work with when they are at the same time trying to work on a transactional basis.
Filestream allows users to work within the normal file structure system while giving access to documents across the system, incorporating the best features of both approaches.
