Effective document management is critical to operational success, robust productivity, and the continued profitability of any organization. As the end-to-end management platform for your business, your ERP system also functions as a central repository for your data. These assets are typically in the form of documents, accounting ledgers, sales records, invoices, contracts, personnel data, and other crucial information. Storage and accessibility are the pillars of document management, including how your system supports the processes and workflows that keep your operation running smoothly and efficiently.
For these reasons, ensuring that your ERP solution delivers all the necessary organizational and accessibility capabilities is key to supporting internal stakeholders and providing customers and partners with superior experiences.

Secure from threats, accessible to your team
Today’s more uncertain and connected world makes secure document management imperative for every organization – public, private and even those in the SMB sector. While cyberattacks such as high profile data breeches, malware attacks, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), phishing attacks, etc., have traditionally been seen in large, publicly traded companies, which is changing quickly. Research now indicates that cyber criminals are increasingly wreaking havoc by targeting ‘softer’ targets in the mid- to small-sized businesses sector (SMB).
When it comes to financial data, the stakes are at their highest as this form of information is critical and vulnerable to outside threats. According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (2020), 86% of data breaches targeted areas of infrastructure most likely to result in financial gain. The year before, 71% of hacks focused on stealing funds, ransomware, or other tactics to steal money or extort their victims.
As in any aspect of data management, there are best practices which serve as the foundation for effective, secure, and high performance document management. Attivo ERP offers all of the power and functionality of other more complicated and higher maintenance ERP systems which cost considerably more:
