JD Edwards users are faced with increasing pressure to
reduce costs and increase productivity, while at the same time maintaining
high customer satisfaction. This presentation will show you how document
management can be used together with your JD Edwards application to achieve
those goals and much more.
Using case studies from successful implementations, we
will explain all facets of a comprehensive document management strategy and
show how different technologies (enterprise fax, electronic forms, email,
imaging, workflow) can simplify your operations and help you manage the
deluge of mission-critical documents (Purchase Orders, Order
Acknowledgements, Invoices, Pick Lists, etc.) that are part of your
day-to-day operations.
