    It's a great tool that works well to automate processes and, once set up, reduce admin time on things like tracking the approval process. However, it can be challenging to initially set up because it requires an understanding of the process in the first place. We have a team of business analysts who work for us so one of them was assigned to understand our own internal processes and then set up the relevant workflows. I think without this we might have struggled. We also each use the expense receipt feature which is great. You can in a receipt and using OCR the expense forms are automatically populated. You do need to manually check it but this saves a lot of time in filling in forms. As we now have a workflow in place it is straightforward to submit your monthly expense report for approval straight afterward. The document tracking feature is good too - who has seen, worked on, or needs to see the document. It means we were able to stop using Slack.

    The best case we've found for Vasion's PrinterLogic is the one that explains why we moved to Vasion's PrinterLogic in the first place. Our Windows print servers were extremely temperamental for our Azure devices and, in many cases, would take 20 minutes or more to just set up correctly. We would then have issues with printers not printing for long periods or with print jobs not showing up in the printer queue. It was also hard for the staff to install their own printers when the one they normally used went down. It was also very hard for staff to figure out how to navigate the printer list to install printers. Vasion's PrinterLogic made all of this very easy and gave the staff one easy web page to find the printer they want and install it.

    Pros
    Altec
    • Maintains all scanned and processed documents since we converted from paper files. 13 years and counting for our company.
    • Able to create custom folders or "workflows" with specific permissions.
    • Able to quickly search using a wide variety of search parameters.
    • Allows the user to make notations, highlights, and digital stamps for future reference.
    • Allows the user to scan or drag and drop documents into the program and will convert to the acceptable format (ie: PDF will convert to TIF).

    • MaxxVault is a full-featured product at a cost significantly less than its competition.
    • MaxxVault is end-user maintainable. I do not have to carry an IT staff to support this critical system.
    • MaxxVault has the best customer service support of any vendor I've done business with in my 20 year career.

    Usability
    Altec
    DocLink is VERY user-friendly! The daily functions are easily taught to non-financial individuals. It's easy to understand and easy to manipulate with a simple, functional layout. The Administrative module is not too complicated, but it would be more effective if there was a more thorough "help" section or an online forum for users. All of my knowledge is self-taught, trial and error, but it would be helpful for a new user to have an online resource to address questions or issues.

    I would say its around 7. For us it was easy to do deploy, to use the centralised control, and not too complex compared to other printing services. However, some workflows became complicated depending on configuration. In our case, it was a bit complicated after a while. But its still user friendly.

    Performance
    Altec
    DocLink is quite reliable and effective. Scanned documents are easy to read with very slight loss of integrity. Pages load quickly with occasional lag loading very large files. We use DocLink with MS Dynamics SL, and the two systems perform well together without much interruption or ambiguity in the process. One issue we have is in relation to the number of licenses and issues we have when a session will not close upon exit, thus suspending an available license rendering it unusable. Although very infrequent, IT has had to manually "end" a session to clear the license.

    Vasion's PrinterLogic had a much better interface for installing printers for staff. It was very easy for staff to manage their own printers and install what they want or need. Vasion's PrinterLogic also seemed to be better equipped for reporting and use by our non-technical staff. We were also impressed with the support of Vasion's PrinterLogic and how easily they answered all of our questions.

    Return on Investment
    Altec
    • Now set up it has significantly reduced admin time for everyone. I would say on average 1-2 hours per month per staff member spent on expense forms and submissions.
    • Cancelled paid version of slack as no longer needed.

    • Having seen similar organizations implement software solutions costing upwards of $1 million, I can safely say the ROI on our MaxxVault implementation has paid off massively for our customers and staff. We could not do what we're doing without MaxxVault.
