Vir Softech: Revolutionizing the DMS Landscape

CIO Vendor Today, digital transformation has become quite the buzzword in the business world, influencing the DMS market to gain better traction. With copious amounts of data generated daily by each business process, implementing DMS has enabled the digital transformation of business processes by digitizing data generated within the organization and at various customer touchpoints. Simultaneously, businesses need to ensure enterprise data is secure across multiple environments, operational complexity is simplified, and privacy and compliance regulations are met. ECM solutions have now commoditized especially in the case of proprietary solutions. Customers pay for a license with a full stack of features whilst using only 20-30 percent of what the solution has to offer. Customers are unable to extract complete benefits from their ECM implementation.

Vir Softech, headquartered in Noida, remedies this situation that most enterprises find themselves in with its secure and highly customizable, open-source-based ECM solution suite at a considerably reduced TCO. “Vir Softech assures security with OWASP compliance, 256-bit encryption, and other features like runtime watermarking, digital signature, authorized access and password rotation. We are a registered partner with Duraspace,” informs Deepak Garg, MD, Vir Softech. The solution has been developed with the ability to seamlessly integrate with global enterprise apps such as SAP, Google Enterprise and other third-party and CRM apps making business processes and operations digitally optimized.

Making Document Management Efficient and Effortless
Based on the DSpace opensource platform, the solution suite is highly interoperable, making data migration and integration with other enterprise applications more feasible.
“Strategically, we offer an environment which is scalable, flexible and cloud-ready that seamlessly integrates with enterprise apps,” adds Deepak. Available on-premise and cloud, the solution is feature-rich. Some of the advanced value-added features are capturing data through enhanced scanning, supporting multiple content types, metadata indexing and page-level tagging.

Advanced search like full-text search, role-based access and content segregation are features to retrieve data from the central repository. “Our competitive edge is our ability to manage complex workflows with review and approval, multi-hierarchal and parallel workflows that are user-configurable. This empowers stakeholders to make data-driven decisions and effectively reduce operational burden and management cost,” reveals Deepak.

He tells us about working with a client hailing from the BFSI sector that were looking to digitally transform their customer policy issuing and servicing operations. It involved processing about 120,000 documents daily. “We helped them move away from a licensed CMS to Vir Softech’s opensource-based platform implemented in highly scalable cluster architecture. In the process, we migrated 50 terabytes of legacy data onto the new app and are currently handling a data repository of 80-100 terabytes, which is increasing every day,” says Deepak.

An innovation-driven company, Vir Softech engineers technology solutions with a strong focus on digitization, imaging and business process management. Incepted in 2015, the company has catered to several industry verticals including Government, BFSI, Auto, Manufacturing, Healthcare, and currently penetrating the SME sector. Gearing up for the future, the team of experts at Vir Softech are currently working on advanced features like AI and heuristics based data extraction and indexing solution which allows intelligent ingestion of digitized documents in DMS for advance searching.
