Metamation is a complete Document and Information management system. Metamation allows a library of documents and data to be held in a central repository, with control and access allowed for users connected either internally, or externally over the intranet or internet.

Metamation allows full document control including document check-in, check-out and review processing, storage of scanned documents, control of structured data, and linking of documents to structured data (such as invoices against customers, and invoice images against the invoice details).

What is EDM, ECM and document management

Metamation provides all facilities required to provide an EDM (Electronic Document Management), ECM (Electronic Content Management) and Collaboration services.

EDM (Electronic Document Management) is made by the storing of documents, either electronically generated from 3rd party systems (such as accounts, invoicing, payroll etc), or from the scanning of paper based documents. Typically, where documents are scanned in or generated by third party applications, the documents are submitted and do not change.

ECM (Electronic Content Management) is the electronic generation, processing and storing of electronic data either in a controlled form (such as structured data) or in an uncontrolled form (such as word documents, drawings, from PC products such as Microsoft Office, etc). ECM provides full processing for documents including:

• Generation of new documents
• Submission of documents and data
• Review of documents and data
• Version tracking
• Annotation of important information
