Document management is such a simple term for such a complex reality, especially for human resource departments. Handling employee onboarding, training, health benefits, government regulatory requirements, offboarding and retirement benefits keeps any enterprise’s HR department awash in paper. 

Even as the world transitions to digital documentation, going from mostly paper to electronic files is a complicated process and requires a thorough, well-designed plan. Once a strategy is implemented, the benefits to the managers of human resources and the company as a whole are many.

That’s where EDGE Business Systems comes in.

Running a business office often equates to paper usage mounting up and HIPAA security procedures being compromised.  Within many medical offices across the country, documents are printed freely, correspondence continues in the hard copy paper format and many internal documents will still be printed without security measures in place as opposed to being distributed digitally and securely.  It doesn’t matter how many members of staff individually attempt to cut down on paper usage, it still seems inevitable that stacks of paper cover every flat surface.
