Digital Mailroom Solution

What is a Digital Mailroom Solution?

A digital mailroom solution is an automated system that digitally transforms incoming documents for efficient processing and management. Initially it typically involves scanning, digitizing, and categorizing paper-based documents, such as letters, invoices, or other incoming correspondence.

However, digital mailrooms can also be multi-channel, meaning they can incorporate not only paper mail that is scanned but also “born digital” documents that arrive into an organization as email attachments, portal uploads, or smartphone submissions.

Digital mailroom solutions use technologies like Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Machine Learning (ML), and Generative AI (GenAI) to understand document content, extract relevant information, route documents to people or systems, and store and share those documents digitally.

A digital mailroom solution helps organizations streamline their document processing, transforming the entire organization, not just the mailroom.

FAQs

A digital mailroom can be secure, but only when equipped with robust security measures.

These include strict access control, data encryption in transit and at rest, secure communication channels, comprehensive audit trails, and safeguards for data integrity. Features that support compliance with data protection regulations are essential, especially when meeting required standards for handling sensitive information.

Scan-to-email is convenient but poses security risks unacceptable to most organizations.

Email is the most vulnerable and most hacked system in any company, and is too risky as a means of sharing important documents. Accidental or fraudulent sending of documents to the wrong people, including people outside the company, is a built-in security weakness of email systems. And the audit trails that digital mailroom system provide are simply not available in scan-to-email processes.
