There are a number of reasons why DocU Solution is the perfect choice for your data-archiving needs: It provides your company with better performance, faster backup and recovery, faster release upgrades, faster local currency changeover, reduced hardware costs (fewer hard disks needed), reduced administration costs, an unlimited number of links to SAP R/3® objects in any profiled document, and shorter response times in business transactions. DocU Solution also provides DOCS Open® users with the ability to replicate document profile information.

Yes, DMG developed its own software package called DocU Scan© to integrate with SAP® workflow.

DocU Solution© is the ideal supplement to optical archiving. Optical archiving systems normally archive scanned original documents. However, this is no longer the case when an SAP R/3 document has been archived. DocU Solution allows you to search the vendor via a vendor account number or match-code, and to restrict (by period, amount interval etc.) the search to the requested invoice. Often, viewing the original document is not necessary due to the display of the SAP document. Thus, DocU Solution is an ideal supplement to the optical archiving system.

Your data can be kept for as long as you want.

Yes, you can access any image of the scanned incoming-original documents using DOCS Open.

In addition to the standard DOCS Open history, DocU Solution maintains a history of all actions performed on documents. This history contains the date and time that a document profile is sent to SAP R/3, the date, time and number of object links added, the date, time and number of object links deleted, and the date and time of document deletion from SAP R/3.

DocU Solution is linked to SAP's Document Management System, but the relationship is not necessary for DocU Solution to function properly. You can link your documents to an object from DOCS Open and never have to rely on SAP's Document Management System.

There is no limit to the number of different types of business objects that can be used.

There is no limit on the number of links that can be created. A document can be linked to 0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 50, or any number of material masters in your SAP system.

Yes, you can use DOCS Open to see the relationship between the document and the object if your SAP system goes down.

DMG offers training to new DocU Solution users and provides technical support for any technical problems that may arise.

Very little, if any at all. Since DocU Solution is a middleware, all of the data is converted by DocU Solution automatically.

In most cases DocU Solution can be installed and working within three days.

ABAP® programs are created and minor configuration changes are made to client-independent and client-dependent tables. However, no modification or additional SAP training is needed for your SAP R/3 system once DocU Solution is implemented.
