Run Your Business Better With Electronic Filling System By Stanley Opara

He says the benefits of this technology are unlimited, as it is designed to work for people.

This now offers specific solutions like grouping filed material under a super heading called File Folder Owner. Examples of File Folder Owners are specific persons, jobs, cases or geographical locations.
Under each File Folder Owner, you can file an unlimited number of file cabinets, hanging folders, file folders and documents. This feature allows you to separate the files into groups for easy filing and retrieval, Dike says.

The electronic filing system is specifically designed to fully exploit the electronic super highway to minimise not just the physical movement of people and documents in the work place, but also to leverage the benefits of electronic storage within business settings.

He says this facilitates faster document filing and retrieval, eradicates misplacement of files, and in turn make possible concurrent access to view the same file by different parties.



Commenting on the effect of electronic filing system on the work place setting, Akano explains that it allows electronic documents to be automatically routed to the appropriate staff for processing, adding that the system allows further routing within the office; thereby making the whole process fast, convenient and efficient.

Apart from facilitating faster response as well as accurate and up-to-date information, Akano stresses that other benefits like speedy inspection of documents electronically and the ability to request for and receive electronic extracts of documents via the Internet, remain other benefits of the system.

Another area where this development has become useful for businesses is in creating databases.

According to Dike, better and reliable databases are electronically achieved in most cases. Individuals and corporate bodies do not need to visit the physical offices of companies to access needed information, since having the requisite code(s), provides access to such databases, courtesy electronic files.
