Many companies turn to document management for help boosting security, improving efficiency, and even eliminating communication problems--but did you know that this solution is also great for helping you get and stay compliant?
Here are a few signs that you might have compliance issues (and how document management can help!).
Your up-and-coming workforce has some expectations your organization should be ready to meet. For starters, they don't expect to be tied to the home office, and you'll need a robust document management application that's up to the task.
If you're thinking about switching from paper-based processes to electronic document management (and you definitely should be!), then you'll need to take a look at scanning solutions. A multifunction system with a scanning feature is always a good option. However, if you're dealing with a lot of incoming documents or scanning years of archived files, a dedicated scanner can save time while leaving your multifunction system available for other tasks.
If you're a little fuzzy about the differences between copiers, printers, and multifunction systems, that's understandable. The terms are often used interchangeably, but there are significant differences between these three types of imaging technologies. Here's a look at the capabilities and features commonly found in devices from each category.
Proactive IT management is essential for any organization, but for the healthcare industry, the well-being of your patients is at stake. When choosing a Managed IT Services partner, be sure the level of support they offer can meet your critical demands.
Here's where to start.
If you recently purchased or signed a lease agreement for a new copier, don't assume the new device is automatically HIPAA compliant. The idea that any copier is HIPAA compliant just because it includes the latest security features is a misconception. While technology can help your healthcare facility maintain document security, it's how your staff uses the equipment that determines compliance.
HIPAA compliance rules fall under three general categories including document confidentiality, the integrity of saved information, and availability to Protected Health Information (PHI).
If you are a small business, you have no doubt struggled, at times, with tech support. Often, the most tech-savvy person in the office becomes the default person to help you get your computers working.
If you've identified that it's time to hire a company to help you with your small business desktop support or your small business network support, you might want a simple guide to help you know what to look for. Consider these four areas of expertise while conducting your search.
Document management software isn't new, and it has evolved significantly over the years. In the beginning, document management was nothing more than scanning your documents and then using key terms to search for those documents. Today, document management software allows for so much more enhancement in your operational flow.
In a recent blog post, we talked about the 4 Reasons to Go Paperless. The reality is that without document management software, you'll never truly realize those benefits.
It's been over 40 years since the term "paperless office" was coined. It seems that every generation of copiers and printers has given us bits of that promise and we might finally be in a place where the paperless office can become a reality.
To buy new or not to buy new. Is that the question?
Manufacturers are creating advanced technology for their printers every year. They are providing new ways to integrate into the technology that you use every day. It is very compelling to have the latest in technology on your printing device to get the most out of your printer. But, should there be a consideration for a refurbished printer?
