The FileNexus Enterprise Document Management System gives organizations, both large and small, the ability to capture virtually any type of document from any source (i.e., paper records such as maps, drawings, manuals; electronic files such as host generated reports, client statement streams, emails, IVR recordings, etc.), index and compress them for secure archival and future recall-providing a single cohesive repository for all document management, workflow, archival and business continuity needs.
“There were different technologies out there, but when we saw what Loris and FileNexus could do, it was an easy decision on our part… the reaction here was jaw dropping.”
Ralph Thrun, Finance Manager, Continuous Improvement Rogers Communications Inc.
