Assignment Content     The Hollywood Organic Co-op is in the process of implementing an electronic document management system (EDMS). There are five stores in the co-op, all within a 15-mile radius of LAX airport. The co-op currently has separate document management tools in each location and is not consistently retaining and securely managing critical business documents. A new EDMS must be developed or purchased which will allow all stores to create, store, and retrieve all official documents securely and efficiently. Documents refer to electronic documentation for all e-mail, text, orders and invoices, web pages, and marketing communication.
