Efficient Management of Business Information

Enterprises today constantly look for efficient content management services that play a significant role in improving their overall business strategy by managing oceans of data. Founded as a spin-off from the Louis Leitz group in 1998, ELO Digital Office focuses on areas of electronic document management, digital archiving, and workflow management, which covers the entire range of Enterprise Content Management (ECM). “We have optimized our ECM solutions to provide clients with better support for recording, managing, and using information with the goal of making them ready for the digital world,” says Szilvia Horvath, President and CEO of ELO Digital Office Corporation.

The ELO product family consists of three software packages—ELOoffice, ELOprofessional, and ELOenterprise. ELOoffice serves as an entry-level Document Management (DMS) solution for small businesses, while the ELOprofessional is aimed at medium-sized companies. ELOenterprise is a high-end, independent, highly scalable, as well as multi-client platform which is mainly utilized by the data centers and portals.

“ELO outshines its competitors with its ability to maintain numerous technological partnerships with software and hardware manufacturers including Microsoft. This helps guarantee close ties to the marketplace for products and solutions,” says Szilvia.

This form of synergy allows the firm to distribute a fully-licensed solution to end-users.
