Our expertise covers information and records management theory and practice. It covers EDM, EDRM, ECM and WCM technologies. It covers technology which is established and working well, enhancements to existing technologies and newly developing technologies which will have a significant impact when they become available. Our expertise also includes feedback from users who have implemented changes both successfully and unsuccessfully. We, therefore, understand the reasons for failure as well as success, and can provide the advice and experience which will ensure a cost-effective transition from old to new business processes.

Cimtech is a totally impartial body with no inherent bias in terms of a specialised or limited area of expertise. We assess the potential benefits of a change in procedures as carefully as we assess those from an investment in technology. We make positive recommendations based on our assessments and we ensure that our clients have a firm understanding of the arguments for and against the alternatives which we put forward.

We have access to over one hundred University IT specialists who can support our own high level of competence for specialised assignments. We have installed numerous imaging, workflow and document management systems using a wide variety of computing platforms, databases, operating systems and network protocols.
