Access releases ADM Pro to help businesses operate more effectively

Colchester, UK - 08 March 2010 - Access, the mid-market consulting, software and solutions provider, has released Access Document Management Pro (ADM Pro), bringing with it a number of features to help organisations manage their documents more effectively. As a result, customers will benefit from more efficient administration, faster processing and greater visibility of information across the whole business.

Access' document management software enables staff to easily collaborate, with the latest documents delivered automatically to group and/or individual inboxes, ensuring everyone stays in the loop at all times. This is backed by powerful search tools that make it easy to locate paperwork quickly and find specific information within each document, even if the filename or location is unknown.

John Beech, managing director for Access' software division, commented, "Today's mid-market businesses have to keep track of so much documentation that it can be difficult for staff to maintain this information in an organised fashion. Our document management solutions provide a cost-effective method for businesses to take control of the paperwork within their organisations, helping staff to be more productive as a result. Furthermore, it can be easily deployed to every part of the organisation."

ADM Pro provides a full audit trail by storing a complete list of 'transactions' against each document. This means each time something is created, filed, checked in/out or deleted, the system creates a secure audit trail, making it easy to track each document at any stage of its lifecycle. Complete with version history, which eliminates the risk of multiple copies by preventing staff from working on a document simultaneously, organisations can be sure that all relevant staff are granted access to the most up-to-date information.

The Microsoft SQL-based solution, which provides powerful retrieval facilities and unlimited capacity, also allows advanced content search based on tag values. This means that any documents supported by Microsoft Indexing Services, such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint, can be searched, as well as any text documents or PDFs where the file is text-searchable. This includes all documents output from Access Dimensions, making it very easy to locate, for example, a specific keyword within supplier invoices.

Access' document management solutions allow everything to be stored in one secure archive, providing a central repository for paperwork. This not only saves personnel time in tracking down documents, but also saves physical storage space too. By simplifying the processing, filing and retrieval of documents, efficiencies are increased throughout the organisation.
