Implementation of Laserfiche workflow and ECM software.

During the migration from Laserfiche 7 to Laserfiche 9, a country chesterfield decided to move on for some older repositories. Here are some examples of what a repository contains related to technology purchases and it was recognized by laserfiche workflow and "ECM" innovation.

= Goals and challenges:
                                  The country faced many challenges before the reorganization could take place, they came to know many of the older records were missing and many had incomplete meta data. When this repository was created, it was meant to store only one document, as a result all the remaining documents were saved in the root folder, and many other types of documents were also added creating confusion.

Therefore, the country decided to create a hierarchy of folders based on documents to accommodate the different types of documents that needed to be stored.

Implementation of laserfiche workflow:
                                                                  Laserfiche workflow moves the documents into the new folder, it searches for the most appropriate and applicable records and routes them to a particular folder depending on the volume of how much meta data is completed. Documents with complete meta data are moved to the correct “status” folder within the new folder structure. However, documents with no meta data or missing something will remain in the folder “no metadata “ , in case of organizing very old  folders meta data is not very specifically changed or added.


Laserfiche provides the best “Enterprise content management” software in order to organize new folder structures or the typically old ones to their specifies places or areas, usage of laserfiche software’s will give an advantage to companies in many ways possible.

what are top trends on ECM ??

Technology is constantly changing, and enterprise content management (ECM) is no different.
In this video, Melissa Webster, Program Vice President of Content and Digital Media Technologies at IDC, a leading analyst research firm, discusses which features of enterprise content management (ECM) software are the most effective at solving today’s information access and process automation challenges.
Video Transcript
We talk to customers all the time about enterprise content management. ECM is about managing an organization’s documents, that is the unstructured information such as Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PDF files and scanned images that play such essential roles in the organization’s mission-critical processes.
Regardless what we call it, ECM, or document management, we find that the customer’s goals are the same. They want to:
  • Get off paper and streamline processes.
  • Eliminate errors and delays.
  • Improve process visibility.
  • Empower workers to be more productive.
  • Deliver better customer service.
  • Reduce risks.

Leading ECM services such as Laserfiche accomplish these goals.

What advice do other top countries give for ECM ?

  With a small workforce, the governmental organizations are facing many major challenges to do more than less. Forward-thinking government organizations are utilizing Enterprise Content Management (ECM) to meet the public demands and manage massive amounts of information around each and every information and document. Recently, Todd Sander, Executive Director of the Center for Digital Government, held an informative teleconference with two Top Digital County:
  1. Michael Almvig, Information Services Manager, Skagit County, WA
  2. Michael Wells, Desktop Services Manager, Chesterfield County, VA
Both speakers have explained and discussed  how the started using laserfiche ECM for the first time and what was the impact, which business processes they have optimized and how they plan on using their ECM systems in the future. Here are three key highlights from the teleconference:
  1. Supporting Strategic Goals
When asked about the strategic goals Skagit County’s ECM system supports, Almvig shared the idea of how country makes information readily accessible, which has promoted accountability, public participation and openness.

  1. Successful Process Automation:
 There is more than meets the eye when automating a successful process. Some of the major advantages of streamlining the business of government include: easy access to stored information, online search capabilities, and automated archiving.  Ultimately, ease of use is critical when it comes to automating workflows because it allows government employees to improve collaboration internally – and for government agencies to collaborate externally to promote shared services.
  • Understanding what operational goals, you want to accomplish ahead of time
  • Identifying the order in which the business process activities should take place
  • Testing the automated process on end-users

  1. Next Steps
Both speakers shared their unique plans for taking the next step with Laserfiche.
Almvig leans toward a citizen-centric approach, expressing his plans to build a community of practice and countywide information portal that can link various business cases together. Some examples include:
  • Signing up for recreational basketball courses
  • Scheduling a flu shot
  • Submitting permits
Ultimately, Almvig envisions a future where constituents can access one government portal under one account and have multiple systems communicate with one another.

Wells shared his plans to expose more data to the public. As Laserfiche expands its reach throughout the County, Wells also hopes to create a smarter process that can be integrated with multiple systems.

What is Enterprise content management?

   Enterprise Content management



Enterprise content management is a software widely used which helps different organizations to manage their documents and information electronically, it also allows the structured information to be spread among the teams and departments very easily. Unstructured documents for e.g. word files, images, reports can be stored and made accessible to the right person at the right time.
There are 5 key elements on ECM solutions which are important for this software:

⦁Capturing documents digitally:
                                                       For managing the content of an organization there should be a digital system for capturing the documents in a digital form. They can be any sort of documents to be captured or stored for e.g. invoices and the research reports which can be stored digitally and is easy to manage and import documents in an electronic form. The normal everyday methods to capture the data are very expensive and also time consuming.

⦁Store documents in digital repository:
                                                                   In order to withstand overcome adverse conditions, organizations can easily store any critical or authentic documents for a business in a digital repository which intends to store the data and also manages, it also allows the users to save data in a flexible folder for long time, if data is saved manually on pages it can be misplaced but documents saved electronically have an advantage for long term.

⦁Retrieve Documents:
                                     After the storing of documents, we can;
We can find any document using the full text search, which related to the document management system through which data is management and then we can store it and view whenever needed.
Can identify specific words for phrases in the document to search.
Can also use the current search techniques that with names of the users who have checked or viewed that document.

⦁Automate document driven processes:
                                                                   Automation helps organizations with the manual tasks for e.g. photocopying, hand delivering, and dropping. Some ECM software’s also have these digital features which enables:

Documents automatically to the right people at the right time.
Alert the staff members when any documents need to have their attention
Recognize the errors before the work has finished or maybe complied.

An example might be purchase orders must be signed, records must be archived, or employees vacation requests must be approved or denied. Automation role is to move these steps into a reviewing process in order to specify them and at the end results there are more cost effectiveness.

⦁Secure documents and reduce Organizational risks:
                                                                                          It helps to secure all the documents and an electronically digitalized manner and is useful for a long term method for saving and securing data. It reduced the risks for an organization for saving the data manually as it is saved on manual basis than there won’t be any assurity for the document saving but the digitalized method enables documents to be stored in an organized manner.


Enterprise content management software is very useful for many organizations to store their data in an organized manner in order to save it for a long time. These advantages are important for compiling any kind of documents relating the organization itself maybe the employees or the consumers, but it enables users to have access their documents in any best possible way.
