Document Management Services in India
Posted: Mar 21, 2020
EDMS is the short form of Electronic Document Management System. These are software systems which typically are hosted on an on-premises server or on the cloud. The primary purpose of an EDMS is to provide a central repository for a company’s documents. Users can store documents on the server and search for them easily later on.
Some key features of the best Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS) are:
They allow uploading documents via web browser
They allow uploading documents via offline client (for Mac and Windows)
They allow users to work without internet access
They have advanced search features
They allow full text search of scanned pdf documents
They provide apps for Android and iOS
They integrate with 3rd party software using APIs

The Advantages of Single Sign On (SSO)
Reduce Password Reuse and Clutter
One of the most common cyber security challenges that we face today is the incessant reuse of passwords. I am sure all of us have one or two favourite passwords that we use for things like our Gmail, office computer login, and (god forbid) our Netbanking. We do this because the passwords are easy to remember and recall. But think about the consequences – if one of these websites is hacked, the hacker has your password to all your online accounts.
Reduce Admin Fatigue
In a corporate scenario, besides the security issues, having a large number of usernames and passwords poses the challenge of high IT admin load. I manage the IT for our small startup. At least twice a week I get requests from employees to reset passwords for various online services like our HRMS, GSuite for Email, AWS Dashboard etc. Frankly its a pain, and I wish there was just one common login for everything. This is one of the reasons why large companies often have LDAP or Active Directory that allows all their employees to login to various services using the same username and password.
Increase Adoption of New Applications
Another major reason to use Single Sign On is to increase adoption of company mandated applications. We recently rolled out EisenVault at a large chain of hospitals, with more than 10,000 employees. Predictably there was pushback from various quarters. Hence the client mandated that we integrate with their Office 365 Active Directory and provide a single sign on to users. This greatly helped reduce the on boarding friction, since employees (and helpdesks) had one less username and password to worry about.
