With the mounting national and international pressure to make eco-friendly business decisions and reduce carbon emissions, business executives must factor sustainability into their every decision. This includes which technology and document management systems they employ. The move away from paper and toward a more digital model is a common first step, with cloud storage platforms being favored over on-site servers that consume more electricity and require maintenance.
For these reasons, Kyocera Cloud Information Manager (KCIM) is the ideal sustainable DMS for organizations that want to reduce paper waste and use less electricity, while also improving efficiency and optimizing security.
Kyocera was founded based on our founder, Dr. Inamori’s wise philosophy. The “Kyocera philosophy” stipulates that we must do what is right as human beings, and one of the core principles of the philosophy is to “Respect the Divine and Love People”. These values culminate in a company culture that puts people and the planet at the center of all business decisions. Rather than prioritizing profit at any cost, at Kyocera, we ensure that we are making ethical decisions and protecting the world around us as we strive for success.
These essential values have led us to develop a proud heritage in sustainable product design, from long-life hardware to software designed to help companies reduce their paper usage. This is where KCIM comes in.
KCIM is a multi-tenant, cloud-based document management platform that is designed to help small- to medium-sized organizations simplify document management and remote access for mobile workers. It is Kyocera’s own enterprise content management (ECM) solution, providing a centralized repository for digitized documents to be stored, organized, and accessed from remote locations by users with access permission.
KCIM was developed through Kyocera’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Optimal Systems, an organization with more than 30 years of ECM development expertise. With KCIM, colleagues can quickly capture documents and send them to the cloud storage platform, so they are instantly accessible by others in their team for easy retrieval and use. This streamlines remote collaboration and ensures important information is always kept secure and accessible.
More and more companies are moving toward a paperless model for day-to-day business processes. That is not to say that they’re removing every last scrap of paper from their workflows, but rather that they are eliminating unnecessary paper usage in favor of digitization. Digitizing documents with KCIM is the sustainable choice for document management systems (DMS) because it reduces paper waste, lowering your company’s carbon footprint. With efficient, cloud-based document storage and retrieval, organizations can eliminate physical storage space and on-site servers that consume electricity and require maintenance to stay operational.
What’s more, digitization is more efficient, making it a win-win for your business! KCIM can be paired with ScannerVision, a solution that automates workflows by capturing, processing, classifying, and storing scanned documents securely into KCIM with the touch of a button. Boost productivity, reduce costs, and do your part to conserve the planet by implementing KCIM.
Integrating KCIM into your processes is easy.”
Integrating KCIM into your processes is easy. It is designed to work well with your existing cloud system and integrate seamlessly with your Kyocera devices. Whether you’re scanning documents and sending them to KCIM for safeguarding or pulling digitized documents from KCIM to be printed or faxed, your workflows will be efficient and productive with these solutions that work hand-in-hand.
Kyocera MFPs are built with long-life parts and designed to use less energy, making them a sustainable choice for office hardware. Coupled with this digitization tool that reduces paper waste, you can create a greener, more efficient DMS for your workplace.
Additionally, when you capture documents on a secure Kyocera MFP and send them to KCIM to be stored in the cloud, you can rest assured that your business data is secure from malicious third parties. Data is encrypted in your Kyocera device and kept behind access permissions in KCIM, meaning documents are kept safe throughout their entire lifecycles.
