New Invu Product Sheets

Expanding out from our core eDM proposition we now service both SMEs and mid market firms.

Invu is focused on maximising efficiencies in day to day working practices. It does so by automating business practices, from content capture, to simple task routing, to full process management through to content transformation. Invu is proven to be effective in many markets with clear ROIs based on saving time, costs and space.

Importantly, there are also less tangible benefits to be considered such as enhanced communications, retaining knowledge in the business, standardising processes and ensuring SLAs are met.

This month we have issued new product sheets to reflect a series of brand changes and updates to the product set.

Changes to Invu branding

You may have noticed small changes to the Invu branding in recent weeks. Since Invu was founded in 1997, Invu and its Partners have focused on the delivery of electronic document management (eDM) to UK businesses. Expanding out from its core eDM proposition Invu has grown from servicing SMEs into more mid market firms with workflow and office automation additions to the product set. The core eDM product is now available in a number of flavours for separate markets. Invu to Go, Invu for Business, Invu for Accountants and Invu for SharePoint.

Full information on these products can now be downloaded from our website. You can also download product sheets for individual modules and add ins including Invu Workflow, Invu Link, Invu Email Capture, and Invu Print Capture.

If you’d like to keep up to date with Invu you can now follow us on twitter (InvuECM)

We now regularly release whitepapers on topical subjects which can also be downloaded from our website.

Over the course of the next few weeks there may be some brand disjoints, notably on the website – we will endeavour to keep these to a minimum. If you have any queries please give us a call on 01604 859893.

Invu publish new white paper: “Confused about SharePoint”

Invu have identified that there is much confusion around the whole SharePoint issue, especially with the much anticipated launch of SharePoint 2010 now just six months away. There seems to be general awareness of its capabilities but lack of clarity around the unique benefits it will offer.
Is it an enterprise content management tool? Is it a tool for automation? Is it a document management system? Is it a vehicle for a company intranet? Is it an application to solve content problems generally within businesses?

The white paper demystifies SharePoint. Written by Stuart Evans, Chief Technical Officer at Invu, it examines the different elements within SharePoint and quantifies its capability to provide an enterprise content management solution. Not all businesses will need every aspect of the office automation described in the paper, but the content will help focus on true business needs - to inform independent judgement, choose the right components and deploy a solution that not only gives a healthy ROI, but also provides meaningful tools for the workforce.

Invu sponsor The CharterGroup Accountancy Alliance Annual Conference

Invu and one of their premier Solution Partners, Lindenhouse, co-sponsored The CharterGroup Accountancy Alliance Annual Conference in Bristol on 5th and 6th November.

The event was well attended by 53 Senior Partners from 35 of the highest fee income practices in the country and allowed Invu the opportunity to meet both existing customers and to educate and inform of the merits of Invu for Accountants to new contacts.

Louise Prophet, Manager of Invu’s Accountancy Sector and Alison Jackson, Director, from Lindenhouse attended the event. Louise reported “It was a very friendly event where we were able to talk to our existing customers and also speak with other practices who have been mulling over the prospect of a Document Management Software solution for sometime. It was also good to meet up with several of our mutual Charter Group Business Partners including Practice Web and Caseware. It really was the ideal forum for us”

Invu for Accountants, created specifically for accountancy practices, is an intuitive, powerful and very compatible document management system available with integrations to all Practice Management packages including official links with both IRIS and Sage. Invu’s document management for accountants is backed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) who have accredited Invu.

Invu saves Manleys 20% in administrative overheads

Manleys, a growing Chartered Accountancy Practice in the Midlands have installed Invu document management as part of a wider project to update the practice IT infrastructure.

Manleys are seeing major benefits already. Invu integrates with MYOB, the business and accountancy software, an application that Partners are already very familiar with. Tax Returns, payroll returns and client bookkeeping are generated using MYOB and saved into Invu automatically creating a comprehensive secure archive.

Invu has made working life quicker and easier for both Partners and the administrative team. The practice workload for around 600 clients is processed by just two members of staff, who have access to all client documents. This team generates first line response to client requests making a significant contribution to the efficiency of the practice.


“Invu is one of the key elements of our IT infrastructure and will help ensure we can develop into amodern and responsive accountancy practice”
Chris Windsor, Director

Invu address record management issues for the education sector

We’ve had a positive response from the education sector recently with 25 colleges, academies or universities in the last 3 months expressing an interest in the Invu document management software. The education sector have specific needs, all of which Invu can address.

• The education sector need to address compliance for records retention from both national and European legislation
• Colleges and Universities often have disparate back office business systems that require a central accessible records repository
• Educational establishments traditionally have a huge variety of documents that need storing including student records, examination certificates, landlord certificates, lettings contracts and personal identification documentation.
• HR and Finance departments are also strategic areas of activity with many managing in the region of 1000 members of staff and operating multi million pound budgets. These areas too need to standardize document retention

Over 60 educational establishments are already seeing the benefits of Invu, one of which is Headlands School in Bridlington. Lorraine Baker, Business Manager commented “We have linked Invu to our internal CMIS Database and the results have been brilliant”
