You will then undergo the\nelongated process of scanning the papers to an email from the email they will\nthen save them to a folder, and from there direct the file to the proper\nlocation within the document management system. What if this whole process\ncould be streamlined just by the click of a button at the device. Don\u2019t let the\naches and pains of going through such a tedious process get in the way of the\nimportant work that needs to be accomplished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Solution: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Umango has created a multitude of solutions to help its end\nusers connect into their DMS in one fast, easy, and painless process. Whether\nit be through an integrated connector, ODBC, scripting or creating XML files,\nUmango has made life a whole lot easier when it comes to filing away documents.\nHere is a quick summary of the different methods that can be used and their\ndifferent approaches in storing documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Integrated Connectors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A brief description of connectors so you have a better\nunderstanding of how this connection works, is a connector is a way of one\ndatabase communicating to another through an Application Programming Interfaces\n(API). Umango has been proactive when it comes to meeting the client\u2019s needs for\npopular DMS products. With integrated connectors into Office 365, Alfresco, X\nPlan, File Bound, Organise IT, and Affinity, the list goes on and continues\ngrowing. Having these integrated connectors allows the users to sync jobs,\ncreate folder structures, or prompt users to select from a constrained list of\nfolders to store the documents into the DMS. One of Umango\u2019s greatest strengths\nis in the batch scanning space, which is a perfect fit for companies looking to\ngo from paper storage to a document managing system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Open Database Connectivity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a clever way to connect\nwith stored information and bring back relevant data regarding extracted data\noff of the document. For instance, a user might extract a client\u2019s name, and\nusing ODBC, it can retrieve information and send back other relevant data\nstored in that client\u2019s name such as a social security number, phone number,\naddress or birth date depending on what pieces of information were stored in\nthe database. ODBC-compliant databases include programs like Excel,\nSpreadsheets, and CSV files. Any data within these structures can be\nmanipulated, updated and synced through Umango to store, remove, and alter any\nmetadata within the database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scripting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scripting is one of the most powerful tools Umango has when\nit comes to storing. Having the flexibility to be able to give users the\nability to customize workflows that normally would be turned down is a breath\nof fresh air for many companies. With a built-in SDK into the Umango Server, Umango\nfinds ways to complete a unique scripting experience in a way that is most\nappealing to the client. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Comma-Separated Values (CSV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being able to create DMS readable files can be a nice\napproach to companies that use a system that can pick up files from a watched\nfolder and store them based on their formatted data value. This would allow for\nusers to extract data off of a document, include that data on the CSV or XML\nfile, the DMS will retrieve it and then store it correctly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Problem: &nbsp;Imagine walking into an office and having a handful of documents on your desk that need to be stored into your companies document management system.
