Project overview
Starting Point
The hydraulics specialist HANSA-FLEX wanted to expand on its existing SER archive landscape and make it a company-wide ECM solution. After automating inbound invoice processing, the electronic records were the next in line. The Bremen-based HR department, responsible for approximately 2,000 employees in Germany, initiated the introduction of electronic personnel records. The records, stored in traditional binders up until then, were to be transferred to electronic records. The goal was to eliminate complex search and filing processes in paper records. Each HR employee was spending an average of one hour per day searching for and filing documents. With the Doxis4 solution for the HR department, approximately 2,000 active personnel records were to be digitized. Furthermore, the decentralized storage of record parts were to be eliminated.
Why SER
- Due to the successful long-term partnership between HANSA-FLEX and SER, already since 1992,
it was a clear decision for the HR team to work with SER - It was possible to use the existing integrated Doxis4 ECM infrastructure for personnel records
- High satisfaction among users who were already using SER solutions
