What is SIMDir?

Since SIMDir (seem~dûhr) is not a "Document Management System" (DMS) in a common sense, it is a "Document Control System".

The important difference is that SIMDir does not store your data in complex database systems, instead SIMDir uses Standard Windows Folders leveraging Windows itself. To put it simply SIMDir acts as a seamless conduit to Windows own folders.

SIMDir does this by managing and controlling Windows folder structures, Document templates, document naming and can even assign incremental numbering schemes to controlled document names and folders, all this within the confines of the "Windows Shared Folders".

Problems with retrieving computer files are everyday occurrences. This is because people in different departments within your business have different ideas-or no idea!-on how and where files should be stored, so they just put them anywhere. (It's just like throwing actual files into the bottom drawer of a cabinet.) Or your staff may even be deleting data because they have no idea what it is or what to do with it.

SimDir

When your system was set up by your IT people, they did a great job setting up all the necessary security paths & protocols and it's little wonder that they're feeling frustrated, as they have no control over the data in thoses "Windows Shared Folders" they provided you and your staff.
Data in "Windows Shareds Folders" is a Management issue not an IT one.
SimDir How Does SIMDir Work?

Just
spend a few minutes to define the templates you need for your business filing system for each client, job or project. And as manager, once you've decided this, your staff will use the same structure for every new job they receive: they will replicate theses structures with a single keystroke, the same way in the same place every time. SIMDir uses a simple, effective approach to build and maintain a network "filing cabinet" for your clients, students, staff members etc.

When you implement your business filing system, you want to know that regardless of the user, the structures won't change. SIMDir does not touch the content of the documents, broadly, SIMDir allows you to mimic your manual filing system to control your information-SIMDir does this without deleting data or interfering with your network or its security - SIMDir is a flexible QA System - SIMDir leads the way to the paperless office solution!


The Solution

On average, staff spend four minutes an hour finding computer files and documents.

It takes an average of 30 minutes for a user to create a well organized tree-like structure populated with some 60 folders.

If someone goes on holidays, sometimes it is impossible to find original documents until they get back.
Your documents from different projects are dumped together in a handful of nondescript folders.
SIMDir presents a solution to minimise the time, money and resources organisations waste each year through poor document control systems. SIMDir provides you with a complete document control system for your shared data while working with all applications. In addition, SIMDir is a system that is effective in any network architecture and provides in fact, a true QA system.

Data Organisation

FACT: Data is hard to recover. 7% of all office documents are lost or destroyed

An organisation which has several other locations can have it's universal data structure duplicated to maintain company standards. This is especially important for data retrieval between separate offices.

Document Control is achieved by updating the folders, making sure that each department has the current structure.

SIMDir enforces an archiving procedure for managers to provide them with a standard which can be followed on even through organisation changes.

Usability

FACT:
High Loss of Productivity due to un-user-friendly systems. Productivity loss leads to poor customer service and loss of important data.

The SIMDir electronic filing system promotes ease of use and requires minimal training. As soon as it is installed users are able to facilitate the features of the product easily, and in short a period can become confident and efficient users. Because SIMDir is simply an advanced electronic version of your manual filing system, users will become familiar with it in no time.

Within large organisation, SIMDir is a very effective means of centralising all of the users data in a form that is simple to use, with a range of user-friendly features, such as grouping and filtering.
