In financial services, documents are a core component of business. How financial documents are stored and managed plays a pivotal role in the competitiveness of a firm: the efficiency of its operations, how well risk is avoided, and the accuracy of important financial decisions.
Document Locator is electronic document control and automation software for insurance, banking, wealth management, mortgage, and other financial services firms. Paper documents are converted to digital files, joining electronic documents in a single, unified and secure document management system. Everything is searchable and immediately retrievable.
Behind nearly every financial document is an important process. Documents are routed for reviews, submitted for approvals, organized for retention, and more. From a simple approval action, to a sophisticated multi-step process with complicated branch decisions, Document Locator's document workflow relieves the inefficiency of manually-driven tasks. Document processes are automated in defined workflows, improving the speed, accuracy, and audit-ready accountability of procedures and outcomes.
The burden of regulatory and compliance requirements weigh heavy in the financial services industry, with everything from Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), FRCP, SEC, IRS, Graham-Leach-Bliley, the Patriot Act, and other laws and regulations playing a role. Effective control and management of documents within the scope of regulatory requirements is essential to avoiding potentially severe financial consequences. Document Locator's document control capabilities, including security, workflow, records policies, and more, provide the tools needed to manage financial documents in compliance with regulations.
"We are able to search through more than 200,000 PDF documents in a matter of seconds, and we are able to meet Sarbanes-Oxley requirements for sensitive corporate documents."
