Document management is the storage, retrieval, and control of all company information. Organizing the storage of critical and evolving business documents, whether scanned paper documents, emails or any electronic files, is a critical compliance point for many organizations today. Enhanced control and management of documents, reduces legal risks, supports accountability initiatives, reduces costs, prevents redundant labor and leads to better customer service.
When integrated with line of business applications, documents are typically retrieved from within the business application. This is optimal because it is transparent to the end users and requires minimal training. The underlying document management repository enforces the organizational workflow, access controls, activity logging, and process consistency.

Synergize provides for multi-level search capabilities, including: fuzzy search topics (i.e. wildcards), Query-By-Example and hierarchical tree viewing structure.
