InBase has released an analysis on the development of electronic document management systems (EDMS) through 2026. Technologies are expected to become cloud-native, intelligent, and deeply integrated into business processes.
Key technological trends
- Artificial intelligence: Generative AI will automate report generation, document summarization, and routine tasks. It is predicted that by 2027, most organizations will adopt AI-powered EDMS.
- Cloud and hybrid models: Mass migration to the cloud will ensure scalability and data access from anywhere.
- Integration and security: EDMS will integrate with ERP, CRM, and HR systems. Requirements for cybersecurity, automatic data backup, and detailed change auditing will tighten.
What is at stake for the industry
Implementing modern EDMS will allow Ukrainian companies to optimize operations under resource constraints. Cloud solutions guarantee business continuity during remote work, while enhanced security measures minimize the risks of losing confidential information.
Practical steps
- Adopt cloud and hybrid models: Migrate document workflows to the cloud to ensure scalability, remote access, and business continuity.
- Prepare for AI integration: Audit routine document processes, such as report generation and summarization, to prepare for automation using generative AI.
- Strengthen security and integration: Connect your EDMS with ERP, CRM, and HR systems, and implement automatic data backups alongside detailed change auditing.
