Mobile workforce enablement is an increasing trend for Zia’s enterprise customers. Zia’s Fresh Docs ECM application is available for iPhone, iPad and Android platforms. The newly released Fresh Xpense application is a simple expense and receipt capture tool for the iPhone that integrates with Xpenser.com.

The focus of technology should always be on people. Zia enables our customers to gain tremendous competitive advantage by allowing their team to collaborate more effectively, respond more rapidly to changes, and make better decisions. Adopters of Enterprise 2.0 solutions will find they have a more productive, engaged and informed team.

An ECM is a cultivation of knowledge -- one of the most valuable assets to any organization. A proper ECM system ensures content has integrity through proper version control, allows producers to easily create content and publish it to a variety of mediums, and it automates processes, streamlining the review, approval and distribution of content across an organization.  Zia's ECM offerings provide all of these benefits, and more, in a manner tailored to the client's business needs.
