7 reasons to start implementation of FEDO c "box"

Market interest in personnel electronic document management (KEDO) does not subside. Choosing the best solution from the whole variety of software products is another task. At the same time, there is little to understand the functionality of a particular system. It is no less important to decide on an approach to implementation - to start with a ready-made "box" or immediately plan the development "for yourself." What is better - we understand together with Ivan Nagornov, an expert on HR digitalization at Directum.

There are two main approaches to implementing IT products. The first involves a detailed study of all the wishes of the client and the requirements of business users and their accounting, which is possible only within the framework of custom development. It usually requires time and resources. The second approach implies the start of work with the basic configuration of the system - the so-called "box" functionality - with the possibility of further improvement for specific needs.

2021

Directum turnover reached 1 billion rubles

In 2021, the revenue of the developer of the document and digital process management system Directum increased by 45%, to 1 billion rubles, according to the database of legal entities Kontur.Focus. " The company received a net profit of 195.8 million rubles, its growth was 259%. And the staff expanded to more than 520 people in a year.

Directum associates the high dynamics of its turnover in 2021 with a number of factors. First, at the end of 2020, the company presented the concept of the Directum digital solutions ecosystem, says Svetlana Novokshonova, director of marketing at Directum. The advantages of this concept in the company are called the fact that ready-made solutions are quickly deployed, can be adapted by the customer to the company's regulations using no-code and low-code tools, are easily integrated with each other and are simultaneously independent from each other. At the same time, they cover the entire range of business processes of organizations.

Plus, our customers continued to get acquainted with the delights of artificial intelligence in their routine work - our AI system Directum Ario One relieves a huge number of pain in recognizing and processing text information, helping companies release hundreds of man-hours. In 2021, the product became available from the cloud - the threshold for its use has decreased, - Svetlana Novokshonova told TAdviser.

An important factor is the influence of the state. It actively promotes the ideas of digitalization and develops its own IT tools. In November 2021, the experiment of the Ministry of Labor was completed and amendments were adopted to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation on electronic personnel document management. The new law gave the green light to companies that feared switching to the CEDO without direct legislative authorization. After that, customer interest in Directum HR Pro, a comprehensive system for managing personnel processes, documents and services, sharply increased, Novokshonova claims.

In addition, says a Directum representative, over the past few years, the company has been actively working on system import independence - today Directum RX is 100% compatible with free and domestic software. At the same time, Directum cannot call stimulating import substitution by the state as a driver of profit growth for its company in 2021.

The import substitution program has stimulated more government agencies to choose domestic products, but we cannot call this factor a driver of the company's profit growth in 2021. Our customers primarily assessed the capabilities of the systems: functionality, ease of operation, scalability, fault tolerance, etc., - said Svetlana Novokshonova in a conversation with TAdviser.

Regarding the plans for 2022, the company told TAdviser that they continue to "build" an ecosystem of ready-made solutions, strengthen the use of artificial intelligence in business processes, create a stable and comfortable environment for solving personnel and other urgent business problems.

"The boundaries of system classes are increasingly blurred today, and a reliable approach for the development of our products is seen as a constant focus on the pain and needs of customers. Directum's intelligent process and document management system is essentially a set of ready-made, fast-to-implement IT solutions for a wide variety of business areas, designed on a single, powerful platform and with flexible refinement. The main goal for us on any project is to bring the client to a new level of efficiency in the shortest possible time "- Artem Permyakov, R&D Director of Directum

Separately, the speaker will dwell on the features of the company's new product - the Directum HR Pro HR process management system, which distinguish it from standard HRM systems: from a flexible approach to digitalizing processes and supporting any electronic signatures to personal accounts of employees and organizing long-term storage of electronic documents with ensuring legal significance.

"Cooperation with Orienge for us is a key driver for the promotion of our technologies in the international market," says Maxim Galimov, Director of Advanced Research at DIRECTUM. The interest in the American company specializing in consulting, development and implementation of ESM technologies is natural, because it and DIRECTUM build their enterprise content management products on the basis of the same IS-Builder platform. At the same time, Orienge has an undeniable trump card, its Conterra ECM system includes system and application modules that take into account the specifics of American consumers, legal requirements and best management practices. "We see the recognition of DIRECTUM platforms in the United States and look forward to the rapid expansion of Konterra's presence in the North American market. For our part, we provide priority methodological and information support to Orienge, "Galimov added

.

Orienge is actually actively gaining ground in the market, largely due to the constant development of the product portfolio. Within six months, two versions of Konterra were released one after another, the company presented solutions from Contract Management, Accounts Payable and InvoiceManagement, Records Management, etc.

"Orienge has recently entered the market, but our employees already have extensive experience with medium and large enterprises. The use of a mature, fully functional and simultaneously flexible IS-Builder platform has created an enterprise content management system that maximizes ECM ideology Agile and case management approaches, "says Orienge President and CEO Daniel Shields.
