Document Management System
The Agility System fully automated document management functionality provides a clear framework that provides a more consistent, secure approach to the document life-cycle.
The importance of good document management
Industries governed by layers of regulation will inevitably mean businesses within them hold lots of paperwork – detailing everything from legislation to good working practices that must be followed. Keeping on top of this is necessary for the good of your business and your people. But if it isn’t done efficiently then it can become a burden – on both your time and your finances – especially if the system you’re using is mostly manual or paper-based.
The Agility System document management feature captures, manages, shares and secures information within your organisation. By acting as a centralised control it removes the chaos of folder structures and fragmented document repositories by providing a robust and secure system for all documents.
