Electronic Document Management (EDM) is a system that allows you to create, send, sign, store, and manage documents in digital format. All processes that previously required paper and manual work are transitioning to an electronic environment. This not only speeds up document processing but also makes them accessible from anywhere in the world.

Who Needs Electronic Document Management

Large Companies and Corporations

For large organizations that process hundreds or thousands of documents daily, EDM becomes the foundation of stable operations. It allows for coordination of processes between departments and branches, speeds up the approval of contracts and invoices, and eliminates human errors and duplication.

Small and Medium Enterprises

For SMEs, EDM is a way to save resources and speed up interactions with clients and partners. Instead of spending money on paper, couriers, and printing, companies can quickly exchange documents in just a few minutes.

Government Institutions

Implementing EDM in government structures ensures transparency and control over all processes. This is especially important when interacting between subordinate institutions, where there are many departments and structures involved.

Why is Electronic Document Management Necessary

Time Savings

Paper documents require significant time for printing, signing, and delivery. EDM allows these processes to be completed in just a few minutes.

Cost Reduction

By switching to EDM, you save on paper, printers, office supplies, and courier services. The cost of sending a document electronically is much lower.

Transparency and Control

EDM provides complete control over the document processing workflow. You can always see at what stage the document is, who signed it, and what actions have been taken.

Security Guarantee

EDM systems use modern encryption and data protection methods. This eliminates the risk of document loss or theft.

Convenience of Storage and Search

With electronic documents, there is no need to search through archives or worry about losing important information. All files are stored digitally, and access to them is just a few clicks away.

Compliance with Legislation

In many countries, the use of electronic documents is already regulated by law. EDM helps companies comply with legal requirements and avoid fines for non-compliance with regulations.

What Processes Can I Automate with EDM

1. General Electronic Document Management

EDM helps manage documents related to interactions between employees, departments, and external contractors. The entire process from document creation to final signing.

2. HR Processes

HR document management can be fully transitioned to EDM, simplifying the work of the HR department. Employee onboarding: automatic creation of employment contracts, orders, and applications. Remote signing of documents regarding appointments, leaves, or dismissals significantly simplifies the process. With EDM, HR documents can be approved in just a few clicks.

3. Financial Processes

EDM greatly simplifies working with financial documents. Invoicing, sending acts of completed work, budgeting, and reporting can all be managed within the electronic document management service. By working with financial documents online, you can speed up the processing of financial documents several times and reduce the number of errors.

4. Meeting Management and Internal Regulatory Documentation

Automation of planning, conducting, and controlling meetings, as well as managing internal regulatory documentation (IRD). The system helps distribute tasks, track the implementation of decisions, and manage the relevance of regulatory documents.

In the Documentolog EDM system, it is possible to automate and adapt any business process to the specifics of your company's operations.

EDM for All Business Sectors

Electronic Document Management (EDM) is suitable for all business sectors, from small enterprises to large corporations. It simplifies document exchange, automates processes, and reduces costs. Regardless of the industry, EDM helps to expedite contract approvals, manage finances, and store data, ensuring convenience and transparency in operations.

Electronic Document Management is not just a convenience but a necessity for companies that want to be efficient, competitive, and modern. Regardless of size and industry, implementing EDM helps speed up processes, reduce costs, and enhance the security of document handling.

If you want to make document management simpler and more efficient, it's time to consider transitioning to electronic document management. Save time, money, and nerves with Documentolog!

Strengthening Compliance with Labor Legislation in 2026: What Kazakhstan Employers Need to Know

In 2026, Kazakhstan is strengthening control over compliance with labor legislation. One of the key regulatory instruments is the Unified System for Recording Employment Contracts (USREC), operating on the enbek.kz platform. Government authorities are moving toward stricter administration: from March 2026, administrative liability will be introduced for violations of the procedure for entering information on employment contracts into the USREC. This means employers must proactively establish correct processes for registering and maintaining HR documentation to avoid fines and legal risks.
