- Written by: Ryan Mosher
Whether you are looking to create more space in the office, secure important documents and information with more than a filing cabinet lock and key, or have access to files from anywhere you have an internet connection, there are a lot of reasons to be in the market for a document management solution. That’s where Efalia ECM, previously known as FileDirector, comes into play.
This software can be a game-changer for organizations grappling with the complexities of document digitization and management.

If you’re still on the fence …
Why Is Document Imaging a Good Choice in the First Place?
Digitizing documents offers several advantages for any organization:
- Enhanced Accessibility and Collaboration: Digital files can be accessed remotely, allowing employees to collaborate efficiently from different locations. Cloud storage and digital document management systems enable real-time access and editing, streamlining workflows, and when 80% of employees want cloud-based file sharing it just makes sense.
- Improved Organization and Searchability: Digital documents can be organized systematically and retrieved quickly through search functions. This reduces time spent searching for physical documents and improves overall productivity.
- Space and Cost Savings: Digitizing documents reduces the need for physical storage space, which can be costly and inefficient. It minimizes the expenses related to paper, printing, and physical file maintenance. Gartner estimates that as much as 3% of a company’s revenue is spent on paper, printing, filing, storing, and maintaining files of information.
- Security and Compliance: Digital documents can be encrypted and protected with advanced security measures. It is easier to control access, track changes, and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
- Disaster Recovery: Digital files can be backed up and stored in multiple locations. This protects against data loss due to physical disasters or accidents, ensuring business continuity.
- Environmental Impact: Reducing paper usage by digitizing documents is environmentally friendly, helping organizations reduce their carbon footprint and support sustainability initiatives.
Overall, digitizing documents enhances efficiency, security, and sustainability while reducing costs and physical space requirements.
