Electronic Record Management System (ERM)

EGI Technologies Electronic Record Management (ERM) solutions provide a procedural and architectural framework to facilitate the lifecycle management of an organization's documents and digital records. Our solutions improve business operations and enforce corporate governance by ensuring compliance with company and public policies regarding the handling, sharing, retention and disposition of electronic records. EGI ERM enables you to reap the values of your knowledge asset and at the same time manage the liability of your e-records.

The next generation of business integration solutions will directly impact a company's top-line growth and bottom-line performance. By using the EGI Electronic Record Management (ERM) System, organizations can increase their effectiveness while creating improved customer/partner/employee relationships within their sphere of business.

We identify three major challenges that characterize the Internet-age commercial applications for enterprises:

• Extreme Complexity: The application environment will be exponentially more complex than traditional ERP or database centric systems. Enterprises need a seamless integrated envrionment bringing together corporate blogging platform, product management systems, ERP systems, DBMS and document imaging systems. This is due to the fact that we are dealing with potentially a large number of distributed organizations and the evolving business entities within them. The situation becomes more complex when compared to integrating a couple of ERP systems within one department of a single company - which many EAI projects were intended to support.
  
  
• Rapid Changes: Companies will come in and out of an organization’s value-chain network. Not only will individual companies and their inter-enterprise environments change over time, the relationships that exist between the various business partners will continue to evolve rapidly. The challenge of change is further compounded by the ever-growing cross-enterprise collaborative Internet Web Services opportunities and security requirements that are surfacing today.
  
  
• High Interactivity: These applications will extensively involve interactions and collaborations between customers, partners (vendors, distributors, channels, service providers, technology partners) and workers that collectively define and reach common business objectives. These interactions typically involve multiple parties and observe multiple corporate policies that are inter-dependent on various players along the value-chain.
  
  

When selecting solutions for your enterprise's business integration strategy, the underlying technology must be able to dynamically change and evolve with the needs of the market and your business. To ensure that eBusiness integration implementations are successful, companies should demand a truly dynamic and extensible solution that can respond to rapid changes. Static point-solutions and the silo database centric solutions cannot meet the rapidly evolving and the unique requirements of businesses conducted in the globle market today. None of the traditional approaches can offer the essential blend of speed, flexibility, security and integration with differnt companies, which are the four crucial ingredients for any global business integration initiative.

The technology and products offered by EGI address these business collaboration challenges by separating the backend application programming from the data source mapping and business rules modeling. Regardless of data format or location, whether it is ERP records, DBMS records, document images or Web-based documents, the data sources are aggregated into a Unified Information Model (UIM) to provide seamlessly integrated knowledge that can be accessed securely through the web. Transactions from the various systems are integrated through our web services workflow. This allows enterprises to visualize their business as a flexible business model and break through bottlenecks created by technology customization inabilities.

The offering fuses our agile eBusiness integration foundation, a rapidly customizable, comprehensive set of work bench application functions, fully integrated workflow and a dynamic link modeling environment. This compilation of functionality introduces an unprecedented benefit for market-leading companies.
