Whitepaper describes new, innovative solution that helps organizations leverage their ECM investment
September 9, 2014, Toronto, ON – Crawford Technologies today released a whitepaper that is the first of its kind to address output management and document bundling challenges for Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems. This new whitepaper describes how organizations can overcome the challenges they encounter when assembling packages of documents that need to be shared with customers, regulators and value-chain partners.
“A lot of organizations have invested heavily in ECM technology and have worked diligently to store as many documents as possible into their ECM systems. Many still face issues when it comes to fully utilizing these documents in ways that meet their business requirements,” said Ernie Crawford, President of Crawford.
“This whitepaper shows those organizations how they can overcome these challenges and maximize the return on their investments.”
Output management capabilities, specifically the need to assemble ad hoc document packages for sharing via print, email, fax and computer disk is something that today causes inefficiencies and errors in organizations from various market segments including insurance, financial, healthcare, government, construction and transportation. This whitepaper demonstrates how CrawfordTech’s Riptide® can address these needs and streamline the operations of these organizations.

Output is multi-channel so it can be directed to multiple devices, in various formats, and for multiple delivery options – print, online, e-mail, fax, and much more.
Advantages:
1. Output multiple disparate documents in batch or real time
2. Pull content from different ECM repositories
3. Distribute in multiple formats and for multiple destinations

5. Eliminate bottlenecks associated with ECM output
6. Enables redaction across print streams and document types
Riptide collects disparate documents from ECM systems and delivers those documents for output in print, fax, e-mail, PDF and more. Users no longer need to open each file in the originating application to output. You can simply select the documents needed within the Riptide GUI – no matter what format or repository – and then with a mouse-click output in multiple formats for multiple destinations. Riptide works with any document type in nearly any ECM system, and with any variety of output formats. In short: Riptide makes it easy to find the documents you need and then output for print, fax, e-mail and more.
The Riptide Redaction Module is a powerful add-on feature to Crawford Technologies’ Riptide solution and provides organizations with the ability to redact confidential and sensitive information from documents and information pulled from various Enterprise Content Management repositories and systems.
