Osource India:Enabling Seamless India Document Management

CIO Vendor The Document Management System (DMS) market has been steadily evolving over the years, owing to the allimportant need for increased efficiency in the workplace. Moving beyond the traditional paper files concept, a large number of organizations are keen on implementing document management today, being persuaded by the emergence of more advanced technologies and the efficient execution of DMS by businesses to improve operations. Furthermore, another key factor motivating organizations to embrace this technology is the ability of DMS to provide extensive tools and techniques for data retrieval, one of the most imperative parts of any process operation. DMS is thus being universally adopted across businesses as it not only simplifies document management and retrieval of information, but also ensures enterprises with accuracy and integrity of records and information, thereby saving them time, resources, labor and money.

Corroborating this fact are research reports which forecast the Global Document Management Systems market to grow at a CAGRof 12.78 percent and reach USD 7.07 billion by 2023. However, even with this growth, organizations still encounter challenges in effectively implementing DMS systems, with implementation of new technology, integration with existing systems, accessing of all data on the move and automation of processes, all presenting concerns. Moreover, increased advancements in technology have also made information ac- cessibility more convenient, leading to concerns of security and data breaches. Perfectly understanding these different challenges, Mumbai headquartered Osource (India) Private Limited steps forward to address them with an all-inclusive Document Management Suite, to create substantial impact through DMS technology to automate and expedite business processes across diverse industry verticals.

Preventing Data Loss with Enhanced Information Security
In addition to a slew of advanced features, Osource also focuses extensively on the key component of security, knowing that sensitive data in the hands of hackers and data thieves; can cost an organization millions of dollars and great losses to business. The company has therefore ensured the application of multi-level data protection to its Onex DMS, with built-in features such as SSO integration, encryption in transit and database, security tagging, document and role-based granular access framework, audit trails and document confidentiality with limited access definition. These features serve to provide not only enhanced security and access control but protection from all forms of breaches and data loss.

The framework has also been designed to run as a self-hosted or cloud based solution or an on- premise model with a wealth of valuable features including outstanding customer support. “Enterprises today while implementing an EDMS solution look for solutions with more scalability, security, accessibility and adaptability to business changes. The Onex DMS has been designed to adequately meet these needs and expectations,” explains Pankaj.

An Inclusive BPM for Complete Business Process Control
Osource has provided Onex DMS with its BPM engine which has enabled many customers to automate their various manual processes. Such automation has helped customers not only in saving the time but also enhancing efficiency & accuracy of the processes. Introduction of RPA in the BPM system helped the system to develop the action list by watching the user perform that task in the application's graphical user interface (GUI), and then perform the automation by repeating those tasks directly in the GUI. This can lower the barrier to use of automation in products that might not otherwise feature APIs for this purpose. RPA tools have strong technical similarities to graphical user interface testing tools. These tools also automate interactions with the GUI, and often do so by repeating a set of demonstration actions performed by a user.

Osource’s BPM framework features end-to-end user definable workflows to track transactions and simplify processes for its customers. BPM product provides pre-defined electronic workflows to eliminate time consuming customizations and business enhancements, while also allowing its users the freedom to define their transactions within the application.

Prior to implementation, Osource also determines an extensive list of requirements of the client to be addressed in the BPM. The company additionally provides BPM training and postimplementation support and maintenance services to ensure maximum benefits of the BPM for the users.
