Digitizing Document Management in a Top Indian Educational Institution
Revolutionizing Document Management for Enhanced Efficiency and Security.
PROBLEM:

A leading educational institution in India faced challenges with:

  1. Inefficient Document Handling: Manual processes caused delays and errors.
  2. Storage Issues: Limited physical space and disorganized archives.
  3. Accessibility: Time-consuming document retrieval.
  4. Security: Risk of unauthorized access and data loss.
  5. Compliance: Difficulties meeting regulatory and audit requirements.
