A document management system (DMS) is the basis for successful collaboration

Manage documents in the cloud using d.velop documents – a document management system – which provides the foundation for your collaboration. Save all documents in a central location. Set up automated workflows to automatically process incoming invoices and archive everything in a compliant, audit-ready way. Make all of your data accessible via a secure cloud-based platform with restricted access. Unclear file names to reflect changes are a thing of the past – with a professional knowledge management system, versioning ensures you automatically access the latest version.  

Collaborative functions in an effective document management system

COLLABORATIVE EDITING

Edit documents together

Users can open documents from the document management system directly in Microsoft Office and edit them right there. You always revise the current version of a document thanks to the integrated versioning. Use the subscribe function to find out immediately if someone has created a new version of the document. This will ensure you’re always up to date. Simply add a task to the document to directly inform your colleague about steps that still need to be taken before a document can be distributed. This collaboration tool feature can make it much easier to coordinate your work in just one step.

WORKFLOWS

Clearly define processes and responsibilities

Workflows with digital documents form the basis for digital processes. Workflows can be used to digitally map various business processes – from simple holiday applications to invoice or contract management. You can design individual process steps and adapt them at any time. This means anyone involved is informed about upcoming tasks either step-by-step or in parallel.

SHARE (EXTERNALLY)

Manage projects together

You can use the document management system to share documents easily with people outside your organisation as required, or release them for editing. This makes creating your own digital project space simple. You can also easily start chat conversations on documents and exchange information on the content directly with others. This is collaboration done right.
