UMS introduces a secured structure that enables the organization to maintain control over access of documents within the organization driven by strict policy implementation.

Solution

- UMS is supported by approval workflows and Separation of Duties functionality (SoD) which allows e.g. financial and biotech industry to use this on regulated areas. Furthermore it gives a full audit track of all actions taken.
