Case Studies

Customised by NEXTech, the Cimage Fusion solution will control more than 5 million documents per year and will bring security and ease of access at the Brazilian Central Bank
All companies and organisations possess a series of important  documents that need to be stored and accessed periodically. In the case of a federal public institution, such as the Central Bank, the quantity of documents in existence is enormous, requiring control tools that guarantee secure storage and access. There are no less than 5 million documents per year that need to be controlled by the Brazilian Central Bank. The Cimage Fusion suite from NEXTech, a subsidiary of the SWORD Group in Brazil, was chosen through a tendering process and will support the Central Bank's ECM technology. Fusion is a 100% web based, multi-layer solution which integrates document management, content management and process automation in only one application module.
