Document Management Service Companies are the Rodney Dangerfield of the ECM industry -- they just don't get no respect. Or maybe a better way of saying this is that they are the great hidden treasure of the document management industry.

1. Choose Your Battles Just because you have purchased a great new scanning/capture/data entry automation application doesn't mean that it makes sense to automate every type of document under the sun. Sure, you may feel empowered to spend the time or money required to automate the indexing of that quarterly report that is generated only four times per year, but that would be analogous to hunting for quail with a bazooka. Make sure that you look at the feasibility and return on investment before jumping into projects. Always take the automation projects with the highest & fastest ROI first and pass on the low or negative net present value projects.

SharePoint is making inroads as an ECM or Records Management system, primarily because of its document library features, price, and integration with Office. But, for SharePoint to move beyond that and become the system to do document-centric transactional processing, you’ll need to customize and plan your SharePoint installation more carefully.

1. Do you need a scanning application or a capture application? The marketplace is filled with applications that provide a means to convert paper to digital form, and I like to divide the offerings into two distinct silos: scanning applications and capture applications. If all you need to do is load paper and scan to a document library, and your volume is fairly light, scanning applications provide a simple, easy to use interface for these types of operations. Capture applications focus on efficiency, standardization, and automation. They provide enhanced feature sets like 2D barcode reading, zone OCR, data extraction, enhanced backend integration, and more. There is a gray area between the two silos, as most scanning applications have some basic capture features. Choose wisely young Luke Skywalker, and if you can, select an application that can live in both silos.
