The Client
Our client is a car rental company that uses Microsoft Dynamics AX as their main software for managing their business operations. The software generates several types of documents such as vehicle handover evidence (BSTK), pricing and quotation documents, collection documents, and legal contracts. The documents are stored on file servers and distributed via email. The company is facing challenges related to missing documents, storage capacity, and document security. In this use case, we will discuss how integrating a document management system (DMS) with Microsoft Dynamics AX can solve these challenges and benefit our client.
The Challenges
Our client faces several challenges related to document management. These include:
- Missing Documents: Since the documents are stored on file servers and distributed via email, there is a risk of some documents getting lost or misplaced.
- Storage Capacity: Our client is facing a storage capacity issue as they generate a large number of documents every day. The company needs to allocate more storage space to store these documents, which can be expensive.
- Document Security: The company is concerned about the security of their documents. They need to ensure that the documents are only accessible to authorized personnel and that there is no unauthorized access to the documents.
The Solution
To solve these challenges, our client has integrated Document Management System (DMS) with Microsoft Dynamics AX. The DMS will provide a central repository for storing and managing all the documents generated by the software. The DMS will offer several features such as document versioning, access control, and archiving, which will help solve the challenges faced by the company.
The Benefits
The integration of a DMS with Microsoft Dynamics AX will provide several benefits to our client. These include:
- Easy Access to Documents: Users can easily access all the documents related to their operations from a single resource, making it easy to find and manage documents.
- Correct Version of Documents: The DMS will ensure that users always have access to the correct version of documents, reducing the risk of errors and confusion.
- Link to External Documents: The DMS provides easy access and single point of access to all related documents.
- Document Archiving: The DMS will move documents to an archived area with retention features, online storage and faster retrieval.
Conclusion
Integrating a DMS with Microsoft Dynamics AX can provide business and operational benefits to our client. It will help the company manage their documents better, reduce operational risks – wrong and misplaced documents, and save storage space. The company can also be assured that their documents are secure and accessible only to authorized personnel.
