Top 3 topics for 2024

Here’s what will play a big role this next year:

  • Artificial intelligence
    AI is on everyone's lips, opportunities and risks are being discussed all over the world. Of course, DocuWare is all about new technology – for internal applications, customer service and, above all, in product development. Answering questions about documents or providing a summary of a longer document at the touch of a button are just two examples of the potential of AI. As attractive as such features may sound, you should not use them hastily and neglect security aspects. With DocuWare, you have a conscientious Partner at your side. We know the security and confidentiality of your documents and data are your most valuable asset. As an introduction to the topic, feel free to read our AI guide for organizations
  • Integrations
    Only by connecting DocuWare with other enterprise applications can you make the most of your data and ensure a smooth flow of information. In 2024, the already wide range of integration options will  be expanded even further. Stay tuned for new features in the areas of email archiving, document import, and data and document export.
  • E-invoices
    There’s no stopping the electronic exchange of invoices. In all EU member states, companies will soon have to report taxes digitally to the tax authorities on the basis of electronic invoicing. The topic is also gaining in importance outside the EU. DocuWare monitors further development in order to meet the upcoming requirements on the product side and to keep you up to date, for example about the various e-reporting models.

We will keep you in the know on these and other important topics here on the product blog. To make sure you don't miss anything, subscribe to our monthly customer newsletter "UserInfo."
