Document Solutions 10 Things You Should Know AboutImaging and Document Management William ZastrowPresident, CEOFileMark Corporation September 20, 2004
The Harsh Reality • Paper use in business is growing 6-8% per year • On average, each document is copied 19 times • 37% of these copies are unnecessary • 45% of all files are duplicates • 95% of all references are to records less than 3 years old • 90% of all records are never referred to after initial transaction • Office workers spend up to 40% of their time searching for information • Hard copy printing now costs corporations up to 3% of gross annual revenue • Up to 60% of helpdesk calls are related to output documents Elimination of inefficient paper processes allows more work to be done faster, with fewer people, and less cost
Why Yesterday’s Document Management Solutions Can’t Make the Grade….. get it right the next time # 1
Why Existing DM Solutions Get Replaced • No longer architecturally compatible– poor IT fit, inadequate security and/or records management to meet new regulations • Can’t capture, store and view all required document formats – images, fax, reports, statements, eMail, eDocs, rich media, etc. • Workflow angst – too difficult, expensive or time consuming to further deploy into new business processes • Compatibility – need to integrate with new business applications • Poor internet affinity– no Web access • System consolidation– industry acquisitions, system compatibility, management and control issues • Support issues– vendor consolidation, platform or storage obsolescence, ongoing maintenance costs
Ensure Enterprise Applications Flexibility….. but don’t go overboard # 2
“Enterprise Content Management” • Production Imaging • Forms Processing • Workflow • Business Process Management • eMail Archiving • Records Management • COLD/ERM • Electronic Document Management • Digital Asset Management • Web Content Management • Collaboration • Indexed Full Text Search • Enterprise Portal Do you really need all of this?
So, What are your Business Needs? • Elimination of paper • Faster document processing – application forms, claims, loans, orders, annuities, checks, invoices, credit card exceptions, etc. • Automated data entry • Managing business growth • Reduced labor costs • Managing records for legal or regulatory compliance • More efficient and responsive customer service • Website publishing and updates • Dispersed workgroup collaboration • High-value document creation and revisions • Internal computer output report capture and distribution • Electronic distribution of customer statements • Self-service Web portal – for customers, agents, partners, suppliers, employees, etc.
All You Need is One (Repository)….. and it’s not just for documents anymore # 3
Modular Configuration, Multiple Repositories, Specialized Servers Browser Clients COLD/ERM Repository Imaging Repository DM Repository CM Repository Storage Server Web Web Server Host OCRServer IntegrationServer SearchServer WorkflowServer CaptureSubsystem Server DesktopClients

The Universal Repository • One logical repository and storage subsystem • One database • One administration system • One set of APIs for application integration • One logical client with one universal viewer • One vendor • One system to learn, use, configure, maintain, backup, integrate, secure and buy
Don’t Confuse Collaboration with Transaction Processing….. a square peg will never fita round hole # 4
Collaborative DM vs.TransactionProcessing DM Collaborative • High value revisable documents • Word, Excel, PPT • Web content • Group editing, approval routing • Content search • Many casual users • Law, Pharmaceuticals, Government, Engineering, Consulting, Advertising, Publishing Transaction Processing • Transitory fixed documents • Images, forms, fax, eMail • Computer output reports • Invoices, statements, checks • Business records • Production workflow • Metadata search, app integration • Few production workers • Healthcare, Manufacturing, Distribution, Financial Services, Education, Government
Collaborative DM vs.TransactionProcessing • Indexing efficiency – mandatory fields vs. used-defined business attributes • Retrieval performance – check in/out, auto-versioning, document-level vs. page-level delivery • User interface issues – browse, text search, field search, QBE, folder search, desktop application integration, workflow integration • Logical repository configuration – distributed vs. centralized • Revisable vs. WORM document storage • High speed image printing • Collaborative vs. production workflow
Focus on Capture Technology ….. the most labor-intensive component of Document Management # 5

When Workflow Doesn’t Work….. it happens more often than you think # 6
Why Workflow Doesn’t Work • The concept of traditional rules-based workflow is fundamentally flawed • Too complex to build and inflexible in use • Too expensive and time consuming to deploy, maintain, change and/or grow • Most workflow deployments try to do too much
Why Workflow Doesn’t Work “Business ProcessRe-Engineering”
Rules-Free Workflow • Paperless ad hoc document routing – for approvals, transaction processing or case management applications • Easy configuration – automates existing business processes, no rules, users still make most decisions, no BPR • Secure work queues, audit trails, instant WIP status • Out-of-box deployment can resolve over 70% of process inefficiencies – prioritize your problems • Rapid implementation = quick ROI = success • Knowledge worker empowerment, not rigid rules enforcement

Don’t Ignore Records Management and Regulatory Compliance Mandates….. its not just about corruption anymore # 8
Records Management Definition • Policies, practices, technologies and management controls – to protect legal interests and comply with regulations • Information lifecycle management • Electronic and physical records • Complete audit trails • Controls to ensure process consistency
Regulation Finance Insurance Banking Health-care Pharmac-eutical Manufact-uring Notes Sarbanes-Oxley* X X X X X X * Affects all public companies HIPAA* X X * Affects benefits dept of all companies, and schools SEC 17A-4 X 21 CFR Part 11 X Basel II X X California SB 1386 * X X X X X X Affects any business doing business with a CA resident US Patriot Act X X X Gramm-Leach-Bliley X X Examples of Industry Regulations

Records Management Requirements • Complete Information capture – scanned, electronic and reference to physical records • Record classification • Record declaration – finalization, library services • Retention rules – time until cutoff • Disposition –ignore, delete, migrate, suspend • Detailed audit trails • Authentication and security
Choose the right system architecture….. how to avoid obsolescence # 9
Architectural Considerations • Server platform –Unix, Linux or Windows • Database –MS SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 or proprietary • Storage – JBOD, DAS, NAS, SAN, CAS, CD-R, jukebox or tape • Clients –desktop, browser, Citrix/TermServer, portal, workflow or legacy system • Scanner –SCSI or video interface, color or black & white, centralized or decentralized
Out with the Old, In with the New….. you can get there from here # 10
Legacy System Document Options • Day-forward document capture – forget the old • Backfile conversion – migrate the old • Live legacy system link – remote access to the old when needed • Live content integration – coexist with the old
