In typical paperwork processes, documents must pass through certain layers of operational workflow such as administrative validation, compliance, legal protocol, and managerial approval before the processing of the document is completed. digitalpaperwork™ uses a document management tool powered by Laserfiche, which allows for the digital document to pass through each business layer seamlessly, utilizing a hierarchal structure to permission applicable parties responsible for certain aspects of the document process. The digitalpaperwork™ process then provides the ability to “export” the document’s data into any standard format and standard communication protocol, allowing multiple workflows to be automated. A complete audit trail is also maintained and provided back to each user via a web-reporting application, providing a more efficient and cost effective work process.
