OnBase by Hyland Reviews

I am part of the Professional Services team where I'm involved with pre-sales, project planning, solution designing, solution implementations, and support for Hyland and ECM solutions with other organizations. We have customers across the entire USA.

I implemented Hyland Onbase as both a simple and complex document management system across many different market segments for the sole purpose of making scanned and virtual documents easily searchable and accessible. The workflow capabilities of the product as well as the Unity web interface and the ability to seamlessly tie into most 3rd party applications to allow easy associated information lookups within Onbase led to a very dynamic and game-changing product over how companies previously managed their information.

OnBase is being used by our entire organization. The primary purpose is for document storage. However, a good chunk of its use is also for workflow functionalities. For example, a document comes in of a certain type, someone looks at it and pushes a button, it goes to another person who pushes another button which moves it out of the workflow area.

At the University of New Mexico, OnBase is our exclusive repository for handing student documents related to the enrollment management experience. We use the product for storing documents as well as processing them through various Workflows that support our business processes. This helps us track and manage an enrollment of approximately 30,000 students and be able to easily track the status of a students application to the University, Financial Aid questions or concerns, and registration issues. Not only do we use this system internally to our departments but students interact with the system by filling out web forms that help us gather information from students quickly and more effectively than through e-mail or paper methods.

[It] addresses the problems of late applications being reviewed and continues to develop in AP for invoice payment.

We use OnBase to review applications to Boston University. The program is the platform that organizes all of the application materials, which then allows us to review each document, make decisions, and organize the applications as a whole. At our office, it is used in connection with UIS software, so it is not a traditional CRM format.

OnBase by Hyland is being used as our enterprise content management system with a specific focus on automating processes within specific business areas. By allowing rapid importing of physical and digital artifacts into the ECM, OnBase provides the means to store, search, retrieve and process these artifacts. Our organizational business areas are then able to automate what was once manual tasks by leveraging the ability to define workflows that are congruent to internal business processes.

OnBase by Hyland is currently being used across the whole organization (the University of Wyoming Foundation). We use the software to log and retrieve important documents and data regrading our constituents. It is very important that we have a reliable and easy to use tool across all of our departments. Onbase solves the issue of having to manually track down important information and saves valuable time that can be spent on analyzing the information.

At the state of Nebraska, we use OnBase as a records retention solution as well as an overall ECM (Enterprise Content Management) solution. We create various solutions for our users (state departments/agencies) to utilize OnBase, and we have replaced many agencies' dependence on paper forms. One of our biggest projects was/is taking multiple inspection reports that are filled out by different state inspectors and creating them as Unity forms - the inspectors now use tablets with OnBase Briefcase out in the field.

OnBase by Hyland is currently used by my organization to store and manage documents. These include data releases, legal documents, rent payroll and other documents we want to centralize. Overall, OnBase is useful for having a central location that users can search in to pull documents that are needed for the task at hand. We primarily use it to store brokerage reports and other market based data.

We use OnBase to reduce paper flow through many departments. we have a workflow process setup to ingest payable invoices to go directly into our accounting system. We use Onbase through many departments to make things easier and more visible to people. This has helped us decrease our paper flow and increase productivity.

OnBase is used as an applicant tracking system for our recruiting department as well as a billing tracking system for our medical billing team and call center. We have currently not implemented OnBase across the entire organization. OnBase has been critical for me personally as an applicant tracking system by keeping track of potential, current, and former employees.

OnBase by Hyland is our enterprise drawing management program for engineering drawings which supports our operating plants in the US. Drawings are also available to our viewers in Canada.

• With OnBase and our established Workflows within OnBase we manage the check out and check in of drawings with notifications to internal and external design groups. This ensures that the latest version is tracked and updated and made available to users at the operating plants as well as engineering groups in the corporate office.
• OnBase has an internal viewer that provides users access to engineering drawings created by different computer aided drafting software (AutoCAD, Microstation, Visio, etc). This results in a cost savings of purchased CAD licenses.
• Users are able to view and print, including to PDF which eliminates the need to contact the Design group for copies. We are currently limited to one print at a time but we are working with our Value Added Reseller and Hyland to correct the issue.
• Using a Value Added Reseller has brought unique help to our specific situation. We have a reseller that assists with upgrades and recommendations, who has expertise beyond our small staffing group; a reseller with immediate access to the right individuals at Hyland if needed. It's a great relationship.
