01 / Operational reality
Where the problem starts
It is not enough to know that a document exists during an inspection or complaint. The organization needs to prove who uploaded it, when it was reviewed, what version it was and who had access. Manually kept records are incomplete precisely when they are needed most.
02 / Practical approach
A practical way to look at it
EDS records important events: data change, message sending, document signature, test result, payment and certificate creation. Roles are separated by competencies, and an authorized person can be given limited control access without making the entire agenda available.
03 / Connected context
How it connects to the rest of the business
Documents from Documents & Data, financial statements from Invoices and client context from CRM can remain bound to the same process. The audit trail then explains not just one file, but the entire sequence of events that led to the result.
What to take away
Three practical principles
- 01Record the time, author and meaning of each important event.
- 02Separate control access from regular administration.
- 03The audit trail should be created without duplicate reporting.
