Implementing a Robust Legal Document Management System for an Automotive OEM

Managing legal documents is integral to the operational success, compliance, and competitive edge of every automotive manufacturer. Our client, an industry-leading premium Automotive OEM renowned for its sporty and high-performance vehicles with progressive design, needed a comprehensive Document Management System (DMS) that could securely store confidential documents while providing a structured and comprehensible framework.

Compliance with governmental regulations was a primary concern and the integration of a Classification System for Documents (CSD) consisting of over 50 different types of classes needed to be seamlessly incorporated into the new DMS.
