A Flexible Approach to Enterprise Deployment
With bundled functionality, unlimited content servers and its own licensing server, the system provides you with unmatched deployment flexibility.
With a fundamental design structure engineered to meet the needs of the IT Department, Laserfiche Rio is designed to be easy to purchase, easy to deploy, easy to support and easy to extend. Not only can organizations configure their own workflows, customize templates or write their own applications without hiring expensive consultants, but Laserfiche Rio is also flexible enough for department heads to easily customize and manage their own systems without any assistance from the IT department.
“What ‘high impact’ looks like is different in each department. We needed ECM that would meet the needs of the entire organization, as well as the specialized requirements of individual departments. Standardization on Laserfiche is vital to the long-term success of the whole organization.”

Agile Infrastructure
The Infrastructure Underpinning Your Connected Framework
Every department and business unit has its own unique needs.

Although there are benefits associated with departmental installations of ECM, the enterprise—and the IT Department—benefits most from implementing an agile ECM infrastructure that can quickly and easily be configured to meet multiple departments’ needs.
Laserfiche Rio’s agile ECM ecosystem offers:
- Quick and easy deployment.
- Straightforward and adaptable administration.
- Central control over standards, security and auditing.
