Document Imaging and Workflow

An electronic file cabinet Rather than maintain paper documents, Feith allows for electronic files to be stored and sorted for quick recall A workflow management tool Documents added to a file cabinet can trigger events that begin electronic processes

Documents are added to the Feith System If documents come in electronic format, they can be uploaded directly into Feith If documents come in physical format, they can be scanned into an electronic format Once imported, they are put in a “Bin” Like physical documents, until they are filed, they are held in a wait state Documents are sorted based on key values This process is called indexing. Once indexed, the documents can be easily retrieved with the key value(s).

Workflow is a set of sequential tasks that comprise a process The addition of a document can trigger a workflow, and the values in that document can determine what path the document takes in a workflow

Workflows accomplish work using various tasks, allowing the Feith workflow to be custom tailored for particular needs. Approval Task – requires a user to offer their approval Notification Task – sends a notification to a user Wait task – allows an item to wait Many other task options are available to suit the need.
