The demands come from many angles. Upper management. IT. Federal and state regulations. In this environment, how do you get and keep control of proliferating paper and electronic records to enable consistent application of policies?

The Department of Defense (DoD)-5015.2-certified Laserfiche Records Management Edition™ enables organization-wide implementation of standardized records procedures. Tightly integrated with the core Laserfiche platform, the Records Management Edition provides total life-cycle management, from creation to final disposition. The Records Management Edition helps your records program achieve its potential as a valuable, strategic asset to your organization.

DoD 5015.2 and peace of mind.
Department of Defense 5015.2-STD is the de facto standard, at all levels of government and industry, by which digital records management applications are measured. Working with the Laserfiche Records Management Edition means entrusting your records to a solution that has been tested against this exacting, objective benchmark.

Integrated records and document management.
Laserfiche provides a single, familiar interface for managing digital and physical records as well as capturing paper documents, e-mail and other files created and maintained in electronic form. The intuitive folder view allows for simplified, consistent management of records and records series in the unified environment, including drag-and-drop import of e-mail from Microsoft Office Outlook® and send-to capability from other Office applications.

Encourage consistent, proper filing procedures.
Laserfiche helps assure adherence to procedures with mandatory metadata acquisition, automated extraction of e-mail metadata and records freezing. Laserfiche enforces records rules while making it both easy and efficient for diverse users to follow your existing policies.

Serious controls for strict regulations.
The Laserfiche Records Management Edition supports the processes at the heart of your organization's regulatory compliance initiatives. Laserfiche protects records integrity with index-field-level security and helps demonstrate adherence to policies with comprehensive audit trails. When records are scheduled for extraction, Laserfiche provides secure destruction of digital records according to Department of Defense standards.

Precision searching tailored to records managers' needs.
The Laserfiche Records Management Edition provides a dedicated search interface to help records managers screen records for eligibility, destruction and other criteria.

Performance is imperative, downtime a disaster
A document management solution must not create problems for IT even as it solves them for end users. It must not disrupt your existing infrastructure. It must not strain tight resources. It must adhere to open standards and adapt smoothly to your changing environment.
Laserfiche is built upon an open architecture that integrates easily with other mission-critical applications such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), financial practice management applications and healthcare information systems. With demonstrated scalability from single-office financial planners to large federal agencies, Laserfiche accommodates both an increasing number of users and high-volume repository growth.

Extending usability into manageability
The Laserfiche administration console is fully integrated with the Microsoft® Management Console (MMC) environment, with complete support for snap-in based, administrator-created tools. This allows for simplified, centralized management of security, users and groups, indexing and storage.

Efficient integration and custom application development.
The Laserfiche Integrator's Toolkit provides a complete set of documentation, tools and sample code to speed systems integration and customizations that address your specific business needs. Packaged integration solutions, such as Integration Express and Integration Express-GIS, deliver basic image enablement without a major investment of programming time.

Database choices to fit the shape of your organization.
Laserfiche fits easily into your existing IT infrastructure with support for Microsoft® and Oracle® database platforms.

Non-proprietary storage formats look to the future.
Locking your organization's information in a proprietary format is not a choice you want to make. Laserfiche stores images and text in standard Tag Image File Format (TIFF) Group IV and ASCII formats to guarantee future accessibility and simplify media migration as storage standards evolve.

Meet user volume demands without creating a software maintenance burden. Web deployment is the key to quickly and efficiently rolling out a large number of users. Laserfiche Web Access™ is a browser-based, true thin-client solution that provides essential document management access while not requiring ActiveX® or Java™ Applet downloads.

Everyone has a job to do. You have the skills, but that's only half of the Laserfiche story. Usable tools that deliver information, simplify your work and help you rise to real-world demands complete the picture.

The Laserfiche user experience has continually evolved toward greater freedom in pinpointing relevant information while not compromising security. Following familiar Windows® conventions, Laserfiche adapts to preferred procedures rather than imposing new layers of complexity.

Ease of Transition to digital document management
With usability at the core of our design philosophy, Laserfiche fits easily into the rhythm of your workplace. Laserfiche is also integrated with the Microsoft Office environment to work comfortably with the tools you're already accustomed to using. It engages users' existing PC skills to encourage fast staff acceptance wherever it is deployed.

Faster response to information inquiries
From demands for a complete set of account records to a citizen's request for decades-old council meeting minutes, Laserfiche provides full-text, index and other precision searches to reduce time lost to hardcopy file retrieval resulting in improved customer service.

Reduce misfiling and document loss.
Lost documents and the costs associated with recreating them are among the greatest challenges to your productivity. Laserfiche's automated full-text indexing, required index fields and configurable folder structure reduce clerical errors and make it easy to find documents based on the information at hand. Document linking and version tracking help clarify relationships between pieces of information.

Cut manual data entry time, expenses and errors.
Laserfiche forms processing, import from multifunction peripherals and other information-capture tools allow users to reduce time spent on repetitive tasks and focus instead on quality assurance and information integrity.
