Team Allita has formed its new EDM (electronic document management) group to assist organizations throughout the US in planning and rollout out effective EDM systems. Having been involved for several years on the development side of EDM, Team Allita has the experience and resources available to provide the highest levels of service in the EDM market space.

Team Allita's approach to implementing EDM systems, at the highest level, consists of:

• Understanding the organization's structure and document-related business processes
• Assessing how the organization currently manages documents
• Identifying common document properties (if any) that are used within the organization - this step includes identifying how document meta data is to be supported by the solution.
• Developing an Information Security Requirement - this step involves producing a security standard to be supported by the installation.
• Identifying general requirements
• Defining the deployment architecture - this step involves the definition of users and user communities, as well as community permissions and document status codes. This includes specifying user authentication options to be configured into the solution (e.g. if Active Directory, PKS or standard user id/password authentication is to be employed).
• Product installation
• Document Import - this step involves getting all existing paper and electronic documents imported into the system. Paper documents are scanned through high-speed scanners, while electronic documents are simply imported into the system.
• User and Administrator Training

Once the client is installed and running, Team Allita is available to provide follow up support and product upgrades on an as-needed basis.
