Many of the Document Management and ECM System Implementations fail right out of the gate due to several factors. Most of them revolve around planning, and project definition and focus. Below are some key areas that are imperative to a project’s success:

Infrastructure
A huge part of the planning for a DMS/ECM System is examining your organization’s network infrastructure and ensuring it is ready. Implementing a system with inadequate resources can provide wrong end user perceptions. Focus should be placed on the below items:

• PC Clients – the client PC’s should have appropriate horsepower to handle their specific tasks. Obviously, basic search clients will not require extensive resources such as memory or hard drive space, but a scanning or OCR station may.
• Network – It is time to get rid of those hubs your brother in-law gave you, and upgrade to 100MB, or in some cases (at the server), Gigabit technology.
• Server – adequate memory, processor and storage is a necessity.
• Backup- often an overlooked area, planning for system backup, now and in the years beyond is very important.

Allied Document Solutions & Services, formerly known as Allied Data Sales & Services, is proud to announce the release of its new corporate brand.

“Like many businesses, our business has evolved,” said Rob Richardson, President of ADS-S. “Over the past few years we have added new services and solutions to our portfolio. We wanted to make sure our clients understood the full spectrum of what we now offer.”

The New Jersey-based company started by providing printer and data center supplies to companies in the mid Atlantic area in 1994. Requests from clients prompted the company to begin providing printer service in 1999. The next logical step was also to provide printer and multifunction system hardware. Next the company launched a managed print services program where they provide printer service, supplies and technical support in a usage-based model for one low cost per page.

Recently, ADS-S became a Hewlett Packard Office Printing Solutions partner. The company is part of a select group of value-driven HP partners that integrate printers and multifunction systems with cost-saving management tools and productivity-enhancing workflow solutions.

Realizing that their current branding did not support the new value proposition, the company began a process to update the brand and website.
