Electronic document management solutions, digital workflow management applications and business performance management are becoming highly relevant, and this is pushing those in the market to stay updated on the legislation, application solutions and related developments.

At the same time, in many cases companies don’t have the information needed to choose the most appropriate solutions, with consequent problems of deadlock in projects, and slowing down or blocking of investments.
That’s why 4IT Group has decided to start up a publishing project tied to these topics with a series of volumes on electronic document management.

The first volume is entitled Make or Buy: choosing between in house or outsourcing solutions for company document processes.
It will be an analysis of the two different ways in which a company can manage its own document processes:

• in-house solutions
• passing on to third parties, in outsourcing, one or more parts of the process
•  

The volume will analyse the impacts of the two choices both from the point of view of optimizations in terms of process management and from the point of view of legislation and respect for the laws on document archiving. Contractual topics will be looked at in depth in the case of entrusting outsourcing of management of electronic invoicing or document archiving, and practical ideas will be given on the role of the person in charge of legal document archiving within or outside the company.
Case studies of businesses choosing one or other of the solutions will complete the picture of the content.

The volume will be finalized and printed by the end of March, and will be used as the text book for the teaching modules on Make or Buy that are included in the study plan on the post-graduate Document Management Academy course, created and conducted by SDA Bocconi in association with Xplor.

The Guide to Legal Document Archiving is an easy-to-consult tool to give operational answers to queries relating to regulatory, technical and management topics that come up in businesses at the time of dealing with technological renewal, or when new rules and laws come into force.

Transforming paper documents into electronic form keeping their legal and fiscal validity and digitally reducing the entire flow of accounting and administrative documents is no longer just a dream for private companies and public bodies.
A renewed legislative picture has translated this wish into reality, opening up a new frontier to document management. In this new landscape, full of news but legislation and obligations to respect as well, the Guide to Legal Document Archiving is there as a valuable manual, useful for understanding how to translate the technical measures into practice and in how to discharge the tax and financial obligations.
