Ashfords
Ashfords is a business advisory firm located in Melbourne’s South East suburbs. They provide financial and strategic advice in the areas of Accounting, Audit and Financial Planning to corporate organisations, small-medium businesses and personal investors.
The nature of such a business implies a huge number of documents, ranging from correspondence, to emails through to client information. Ashfords were looking for a simple way of storing, classifying and retrieving this range of documentation. Upstream’s powerful document management solution enabled all information to be stored, whether originally a hard copy document or a digital document, using the Client ID number as the key metadata identifier. Upstream was also able to integrate with Ashford’s IT systems to extract vital information such as the customer name and allow storage and retrieval by the associated metadata values.
Ashfords realised the power of the Upstream solution as it enabled better storage, greater visibility and access and a simplified search criteria which result in a better service to their clients.
