WHAT IS EDMS

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.
