The automatic email archive “ecoMAILZ” from ecoDMS GmbH enables quick, secure and legally compliant archiving for all incoming and outgoing emails. At a license price of 49 Euro, the software is a true bargain. The license fee includes updates for a period of 24 months. The browser-based interface is easy to operate and allows access to the archived messages from anywhere. All emails are securely stored in data containers. These are located directly on site at the customer and not on third party servers.

ecoMAILZ retrieves incoming emails immediately from the server when they arrive and stores them in the mail archive. The web client enables authorised users to view the emails for which they are responsible after they have logged on. Retrieving emails is child’s play with full-text search and filtering functions.

ecoMAILZ also fulfils the legal requirements for compliant email archiving. Here, the software works with a two-step archiving concept. Each message receives a status. In combination with a configurable examination period, users can manage the current archiving status in the Status dialogue box. For example, you can tag private emails that have a certain deadline/within a certain deadline. ecoMAILZ recognises these tags and does not transfer these emails to the archive.

ecoMAILZ also conforms with the general data protection regulation (GDPR). Users can irrevocably erase messages from the archive for important reasons using the “Two-Man Rule”.

Apart from the web client, ecoMAILZ has its own plugins for MS Outlook and Thunderbird. They connect ecoMAILZ with the respective email interface. This allows users to monitor the archiving status and make various archiving settings directly in the email client.

The team from Aachen has created an interface for their document archive “ecoDMS”. The dedicated plugin establishes a connection between the ecoMAILZ email archive and the ecoDMS document archive. Moreover, the archived emails from ecoMAILZ can also be archived and retrieved in ecoDMS.

ecoDMS GmbH from Aachen is launching an entirely new, state-of-the-art workflow solution. ecoWorkflow enables you to automate all processes quickly and easily without requiring programming knowledge. The modern workflow system opens new opportunities for customers and resellers of ecoDMS in the areas of “digitalisation, archiving, administration and automation”.

The implementation of a workflow solution requires a lot of knowledge about how to optimise and accurately implement internal processes. Sound advice is at the heart of this process. This is why the company from Aachen is offering IT system integrators and resellers interesting and educational training to become certified business partners. The courses are designed to get future CBPs up to speed with ecoWorkflow, enabling them to professionally implement the software for their customers. In a two-day workshop they acquire the necessary knowledge at the site of their future business partner. The certified workflow partner is then able to recognize the measures required by their customer, implement processes and model the workflow system according to the customer’s requests.

Feedback has been very positive since the beginning. More and more system integrators are looking for affordable and easy to operate workflow solutions for their customers. This is why we are experiencing a high number of enquiries about certification. By August 2019, 6 partners will already have completed the training program and there are more scheduled courses in the pipe.

With the certification as ecoWorkflow specialist, certified business partners include a perfect software for automating and optimising business processes in their existing portfolio. ecoWorkflow fits into the processes and structures of a company like a tailored suit. The user-friendly implementation of the full solution allows the mapping of the required processes without any programming knowledge. An intelligent role and user concept assigns the respective tasks to the department concerned.

The state-of-the-art technology of ecoWorkflow enables quick installation and particularly easy configuration of the entire workflow environment. Users can log in directly through their web browser and start working. Using the web client, you can initiate processes, set up shares or delegate tasks.

With the release of ecoWorkflow, the manufacturer ecoDMS GmbH has added a new certification programme to its partner programme. Resellers and system providers can become certified business partners of ecoDMS in order to include ecoWorkflow in their portfolio. This web-based software allows certified partners to optimise the document-related processes of their customers and prospects and thus lower their administration costs. Fantastic Solutions AG from Switzerland is the first systems provider to successfully complete the certification programme.

“Our certified business partner programme enables companies to successfully implement and maintain ecoWorkflow for their customers”, says Adruni Ishan, authorised signatory at ecoDMS GmbH and responsible for partner certification. “We hold a two-day on-site workshop at the partner’s premises to transfer the necessary skills and information for creating and modelling processes.”

A kick-off meeting with decision-makers takes place at the beginning of the workshop, where all participants agree on a common perception of projects and their structure. Once this is clear, the workshop is hands-on. The ecoDMS staff then work together with the individual departments on the current handling of typical processes, for example, incoming invoice processing. Based on these findings, ecoDMS then presents a theoretical optimised process flow, which takes into account the existing IT infrastructure. On the second day of the workshop, resellers and system providers then map this solution with ecoWorkflow. The web-based solution from ecoDMS includes the Modeller, in which users define the processes. The integrated Designer is used to create the user interface for process execution.

“This learning-by-doing approach immediately gives participants a feeling for how to successfully apply our ecoWorkflow for their customers”, says Adruni Ishan. “The software also includes templates for mapping frequently used processes. These templates can also be modified to suit individual requirements. In our workshop, the prospective certified business partners also learn how to assign subtasks to departments using the roles and user concept, and how to integrate third-party software with ecoWorkflow.” Following the successful participation in this workshop, partners receive a certificate and a free ecoWorkflow license for sales purposes. Moreover, ecoDMS forwards enquiries about ecoWorkflow directly to their business partners.

The installation and operation of the archiving systems is user friendly and simple. Both products can be used simultaneously. The technical implementation of the components ideally unifies ecoDMS and ecoMAILZ.

Scanning, archiving, managing and retrieving the archived data is simple. ecoMAILZ retrieves the emails from the email server on arrival and archives them automatically. ecoDMS is similarly easy to handle.

The template designer recognises documents and automatically executes all further archiving and classification steps.

The full-text search helps retrieve all archived data within seconds. Full-text indexing automatically takes place in the background without requiring further action by the user. Apart from the full-text search, both systems have further helpful search functions. This ensures that no document is lost.
