Why FORD Document Management ?

Document management is a way to easily manage your paper files electronically and create more office space as well as saving time instead of spending precious minutes trying to find that paper document.

Document Imaging

Document imaging provides access to your information when you need it, either on your network or via the internet, with our eletronic document management software (EDMS). We can scan and index day-to-day documents, large and wide format documents, and microfilm, resulting in easily accessible and digitized files.

Software Solutions

An electronic document management system (EDMS) is a document management software solution that delivers the ability to store, manage, and track all electronic content (images, email, Microsoft Office, etc.). Share, process, update and manage your information with far greater efficiency than paper-based processes, and establish task-based workflows that automatically take a process from scanning to completion. This provides your company with a fully transparent, accountable, and productive work environment.

Shredding & Document Destruction

While it’s important for companies and organizations to have an effective plan for organizing and managing their documents while in-use, it’s just as critical to give consideration as to how records are disposed of and destroyed. The integration of document destruction and shredding processes as the final piece to the document management puzzle is one of the best ways businesses can ensure sensitive or proprietary information remains protected throughout the entirety of its life-cycle.

Every business needs a safe, compliant and affordable method of storing, retrieving and managing its hard copy from inception through destruction.
