Information is the lifeblood of your organisation. But how do you harness it so it’s organised, manageable, accessible and results in valuable business insights?

Information management (IM) is the collection and management of organisational information, regardless of format or source. It allows for the distribution and sharing of that information to the right people in a way that supports your workplace processes and guidelines. And of course, it enables all this across all devices regardless of location, 24/7.

The digital workplace

Achieving the nirvana of a true digital workplace requires a synergy between business priorities, business processes, people and of course, technology.

A well-designed IM strategy provides your organisation with the technological means to ingest and store physical data (like hard copies of documents, books etc.) in digital format, as well as host native digital data assets like images, video, and music. Critically, it allows you to apply governance to information assets – so personal privacy (think HR and payroll), security protocols and commercial sensitivities are automatically observed, enforced and audited.

IM also manages how your information is shared, so automated workflows can move a document or task from person to person along a predetermined route, with inbuilt timelines and alerts. And it enables a simple and intuitive search and file process, while providing version control.

The ultimate goal of IM is to enable your employees to work as efficiently as possible. The outcome? Streamlined processes and vastly improved customer service.

We take a holistic approach which places equal importance on the need to reflect and support your business processes, meet the needs of your people, and provide the information architecture to meet your business requirements.

A quick look at SharePoint and M-Files

Microsoft SharePoint is part of the wider Microsoft Office suite. It integrates directly with other Microsoft tools (although an add-on is required for Outlook) and is often part of an existing Office 365 package so may not require additional investment. SharePoint offers strong communication and collaboration features, making it ideal for use as an intranet or team/project site.

M-Files is a fully-featured Document Management System (DMS) designed to eliminate information silos by providing quick and easy access to the right data and content from any business system and device. M-Files offers out-of-the-box integration with Outlook, Dynamics CRM, Salesforce, SAP, and Autocad.
