Access Anywhere Is More Important Than Ever
The global economy has undergone organic changes driven by advancing technology and a forced evolution spurred on by the global pandemic. When COVID-19 was raging, nearly every business or organisation that could adapt to remote work did so. Many of those businesses either never went back to in-person work or have since adopted a hybrid approach where some employees are working remotely at least part of the time.
Using database and library software that can be accessed anywhere without sacrificing security is vital for organisations that employ remote workers.
Workers Anywhere Can Submit Reports, Documents and Other Library Entries
The ability for employees to submit entries quickly from anywhere, including workers in the field, is a useful feature for many organisations.
A business that performs surveys can enable front-line workers to submit findings immediately from anywhere in the world. Claims adjusters for an insurance company can submit photos or reports immediately when investigating a claim.
There is a nearly limitless number of scenarios in which the ability for employees or contributors to submit entries from any place could prove invaluable. Soutron’s library management system and archive software’s straightforward entry submission process is intuitive and easy for employees to learn.
Plus, the ability to customise metadata on new submissions can facilitate core business processes like lead curation or client onboarding.
Every business and organisation is different, and these functionalities can be leveraged in a variety of ways to meet unique and specific needs.
