An
EDMS (electronic document management system) is an integrated system
of software and technologies that can enable the creation, processing,
routing and storage of electronic documents. How involved and complex
the system is depends on how it is developed and the needs of the
court or business. An EDMS uses imaging technology to convert paper
documents into electronic documents. Once implemented in the future,
E-filed documents will be placed directly into an EDMS without imaging
because the document will be created electronically (computer-to-computer
without any printing to paper). Some of the software and technologies
that are a part of EDMS in the Clerk's Office include: OnBase, Kofax,
Ascent, and Workflow.
Managing
the use and storage of electronic documents, eFiling, electronic
records, scanning/imaging paper documents, and the Clerk's MEEDS
process (Minute Entry Electronic Delivery System) are all parts
of the EDMS. Some of those parts have been fully functioning in
the Office for years now, while other parts have not yet been implemented.
