With Document Management developed on SharePoint, your storage and search processes will be much more efficient and faster!
Thanks to the integration of Microsoft 365 you will be able to count on a world-class software for Document Management, with multiple functionalities and benefits.
Benefits of SharePoint Document Management:
Documents Panel
The main page of the system allows, through a dashboard, to identify and view the documents that are in each phase or stage of the process, being able to consult and clearly identify the person in charge and the times associated with each one.
The complete list of documents can be organized by views, using the metadata values that are assigned to each document loaded in the system. The companies working with a large amount of documentation such as real estate agencies, it is the best platform that is recommended by the real estate solutions providers.
In addition, it is possible to filter by specific fields, for example, Organizational Unit, Process, Status, Version or any other custom parameter.
Task Pane
In each phase of the process, the system automatically generates tasks for the users responsible for reviewing or approving documents. Email notifications are sent for each task delegation.
In the detail of each task, it is possible to access the document in reference, approve it, reject it or request internal collaboration from a specialist or colleague within the company.
It is possible to parameterize the times assigned to each type of task, clearly displaying the tasks completed, not started, delayed and their respective responsible parties.
Maintainers
The maintainers allow you to autonomously manage relevant aspects of the process, such as the reviewer and approver users associated with the flows, types of documents, organizational units, processes or other metadata fields that have been defined for each client.
Review/Approval Workflow
The workflows allow you to automate the document review and approval processes, avoiding the printing of physical documents, optimizing the time of the participants and maintaining adequate control over the status of each document and its respective person in charge. Generally, the flows have one, two or three review and approval phases, and those responsible for each phase can be parameterized depending on the parameters assigned to each document.
Collaboration Workflow
It allows you to extend the capabilities of the Review and Approval flow, which already has established parameters, being able to request reviews, approvals, comments or signature requests from users who are not associated with the original flow. In the review or approval phases, each person in charge can request, at their discretion or need, collaboration from any internal user of the company who has access to the document manager. The system will notify by email and create a task for the corresponding collaborator.
Process map
From a visual map, the system will allow each organizational area to be opened, be it management, assistant management, department or unit, being able to visualize the processes and/or sub-processes that correspond to each one. In each of them, it will allow access to the corresponding documents, providing a structural and visually attractive access alternative to end-users.
The associated areas and processes can be managed by a maintainer specially prepared for this, allowing a group of administrator users to directly customize the access structure from the process map.
