Digital files in everyday life - What are the common file examples?
In every department there are typical types of files, which are increasingly gaining in value in companies, because on the one hand processes are standardized, but on the other hand the special processes and information bring competitive advantages. Which file examples are common in everyday life?
There are, for example: IT files, sales files, compliance files, data protection files, customer files, patent management files, project files, partner files, process files, purchasing files, sponsoring files....
Contract file
The complete contract lifecycle is mapped in a digital contract file: from the invitation to tender, bid comparison, negotiation, review and signing, through contract performance, contract management and contract controlling, to contract renewal or archiving. In addition, all important contract information such as contract partners, responsibilities and clauses, as well as resubmissions, reminders and deadlines are bundled in the contract file.
Company file (investment management)
Within the company file, shareholding relationships can be maintained easily and conveniently. Whether the capital, shareholdings, committees, associated contracts and documents including threshold values or conditions and deadlines - all information in one file provides transparency and clear relationships - quickly and securely! For shareholder meetings, standardized reports and reports or individual evaluations can be created via the associated process workflows.
Civil Procedure File
The civil case file bundles the file management from the conclusion of the contract to the final judgment in a practice-proven way. All relevant steps, dates, notes and judgments are clearly summarized. This means that you have all documents at your fingertips and are fully prepared for the court hearing with just one mouse click and one document (eFile).
Trademark file
With the trademark file, the complete application process of a trademark can be monitored. The essential data of the application forms as well as the filing and administration of the form itself are taken into account. In particular, the monitoring of the application and the approval can be process-controlled and thus monitored in a standardized manner.
Personnel file
In addition to the personnel information in the payroll system or the time determination, the personnel file app can be used to manage comprehensive documents and processes for an employee. By linking to the personnel master record in the ERP or PIS (personnel information system), the personnel file optimally closes the gap between documents and master record data in the existing systems.
Tender file
All elements of a tender can be mapped in the tender file: starting with the file creation (with industry-specific adaptations possible), the classification of the requirements, the suppliers (contacts), the individual template modules for the supplier query, the evaluation of the incoming applications up to the evaluation, all elements are implemented in one process.
