x-Biz Techventures Private Limited Redefining Document Management Systems
Adocument management system (DMS) is important for the smooth functioning of a business structure and its operations. But, traditional DMSs fall short in certain aspects holding them from being the complete solution for all document storage needs. Without any doubt, in today's complex and collaborative work environment, it is time for traditional tech to get disrupted alongside business disruptions. Moreover, document management is one such domain with data privacy bills and stricter regulations around the corner. Besides, the organization's treatment of customer data files will face challenges with respect to traditional DMS systems. Into this space, enters x-Biz Techventures , a fintech start-up company from Mumbai introducing their new-age document management system. In a recent interaction with Dipak Nair, Managing Director of x-Biz Techventures shares his views with CIO Insider on his 2+ decades of experience as a CIO and tech leader prior to being an entrepreneur, and the unique company solution.
As an Ex CIO, can you please elaborate on the challenges you have noted with document management systems?
Companies struggle in managing documents across multiple digital interfaces. Each system ends up creating redundant document handling capabilities primarily attributed to the failure of traditional DMS due to its archaic architecture and rigid structures falling short of expectations. Traditional DMSs pose license compliance challenges (in formats of named/ concurrent user/API count/cores and more). They sell small and then try to grow big with land and expand strategy. They impose vendor lock-in with proprietary storage formats. Still, on old technologies,
they provide near-zero intelligence and typically end up being dumb repositories. With integration challenges, they end up becoming the 'final resting place' for documents. Resultant handoffs and transfer of documents
Please elaborate on what you mean by disrupting the DMS Space. What impacts are being delivered through your DMS solution?
