Overview

  • Country: Germany

  • Challenge: The company already had an archive solution, but no flexible information management. It wanted to provide its staff with direct digital access to all order files in the DMS via search terms.
  • Solution: ELO currently manages some 3,000,000 documents in the HATLAPA archive. The company successfully uses the ELO full-text search function for initially not completely tagged documents.
