When in the midst of deadlines, there’s nothing more important at that moment than accessing vital tax records to help clients being audited by the IRS. Document management software like DocuXplorer helps you instantly access online files. You will know at any given moment, where a file is. If you have access to it through entitlements then you will also be permitted to view the file. Files created in Microsoft Office and QuickBooks will also be easily imported through a Print/Save function, rather than by manual intervention which usually done in the form of scanning and upload. All of these soft copy files then become accessible via entitlements to departments, groups and/or individuals within your company based on need.

This increases productivity and efficiency, while reducing down time.
Files were stored in hard copy years ago, and those companies that generated a lot of paper like tax solution companies and other types of financial firms, were weighed down by the costs of storing this paper over time to satisfy records management requirements. Times have changed. Now firms can realize a great savings cost by leveraging document management software and relying on space for data, instead of hard copy files, which costs a whole lot less. Money saved can then be applied to those projects that need it – which can help the company thrive and grow.
