What problems EDM solves
Once you're past a handful of documents a week, email and folders stop keeping up. EDM solves the usual pain points:
- Approval. The document follows a set route (say, staff member → manager → signature), and you can see exactly where it's stuck.
- Versions. Every edit is saved; it's always clear which version is current.
- Signature. Documents are signed electronically, with no printing or scanning.
- Logs and reminders. Who did what and when; the system reminds about overdue approvals.
What to set up first
- Describe 2-3 typical routes (contract, invoice, order) — that's enough to get started.
- Set up templates for your most common documents so you're never starting from a blank page.
- Define who signs and who approves — roles, not specific names.
Tip. Don't try to digitize every process at once. Start with the one that hurts most (say, contract approvals) — and expand once the team gets used to it.
How long it takes
If the system is ready-made rather than built from scratch, launching basic document flow is a one-day job: set up routes, templates, and users. In MCC EDM, all of this is already there out of the box: approval routes, versioning, e-signature, logs, and reminders deploy automatically.
Who needs this
Small LLCs and sole proprietors with regular contracts, law and notary offices, service companies — anyone whose documents pass through more than one pair of hands.
