Business Action Manager is a scalable application that enables the dynamic management of both electronic and physical documents, based on configurable actions and business policies.
By setting actions on policies or documents, organisations can, for example, ensure that relevant employees are sent an actionable email, as well as the related documentation, to notify them that a document needs to be updated by a certain deadline, or that a document is moving to long term storage.
Business Action Manger helps an organization to conduct business in an orderly, efficient and accountable manner.

This is an important factor for companies that need to meet stringent legislative and regulatory requirements associated with the archiving and auditing of documents.
Whether looking to ensure drawings are filed on time with clients, or tax returns or HR records are maintained and updated on a regular basis, Business Action Manager provides the flexible functionality to enable a more systematic approach to the management of documents and related actions.
Alternatively, it can be used to automate the archiving of out-of-date documentation.
When old files are removed a note remains live on the system to indicate the location of the now archived document.
This is particularly important for companies who, at a later date, may need to refer to old drawings or documents from an engineering or manufacturing perspective, where litigation can still occur over extended time periods.
Paul Muir, CEO with McLaren commented, "Document, policy and action management is an issue for all businesses in some form or another.
As competition increases and financial and legal compliance issues impact on business activities, agility is becoming a key issue.
Companies are looking for solutions, such as Business Action Manager, to help remove the headache of managing the rising amount of information that needs to be actioned in a systematic and regular manner." kVisia Business Action Manager is available directly from McLaren and through a network of kVisia Solution Partners.
