Make your business processes both more transparent and more secure.

Laserfiche 8's auditing system includes the comprehensive security reporting you need to accurately assess your business processes, as well as to track document-related activity to improve quality, accountability and productivity.

• Automatic archiving of audit logs as database-independent files helps you easily demonstrate compliance with industry regulations.
• The audit reporting interface is now a Web application. Administrators and auditors can view audit logs from any authorized terminal, so audits interfere even less with daily operations.
• The Laserfiche Server supports automatic log life-cycle management.

Promote enterprise-level contribution.

Laserfiche 8 has been designed to facilitate enterprise-wide collaboration. Users working in varied operating systems can all access, share and work with the same documents. Web Access^TM supports Microsoft Internet Explorer^® 6 and above, as well as Mozilla^® Firefox^® 2.x, so staff can contribute to business processes in a variety of operating systems. Workflow^TM automates these business processes to streamline the approval process, eliminate lag times and increase productivity.

For example, by using Web Access, an Apple^® Macintosh^® user can route content for approval in Workflow to a PC user. Upon approval, either the PC or Mac user can archive the content in a "Finalized Content" folder.

Build a complete business processing platform.

Laserfiche has always excelled at information storage and retrieval. Laserfiche 8 pushes the Laserfiche system to new levels of power, functionality and usefulness by using information to automate and accelerate business processes. The all-new Workflow forms the basis for these capabilities, which promise to help you increase efficiency, maintain operational standards and promote enterprise-wide collaboration. Workflow not only helps you automate business processes, but also makes them more manageable, providing you with a singular location from which to monitor and refine your organization's operations.

• Using the intuitive Workflow Designer's^TM "top-down" structure and intelligent design tools, you build a workflow and define the conditions that must be met in order for a document to move from one step to the next. The Designer even alerts you when a workflow is not designed correctly.
• Each workflow can involve as many steps as you need, and you can trigger a workflow at any stage in a document's life cycle, starting with the moment it enters the Laserfiche production environment.
• Manage workflows from a single location-the Workflow Administration Console^TM. Because this console is a Microsoft Management Console^TM application, you can snap it into the same enterprise console you use to manage all your organization's Windows-based applications.
• The Workflow engine is built on the Windows Workflow Foundation^TM, so you can use many activities written for other applications in a Laserfiche workflow, as well as create workflows that involve Laserfiche and the other applications you use every day.

In addition to reducing the costs of paper-based processes, Laserfiche requires minimal administration, so IT staff can accomplish more in less time while expending fewer resources.
