Born as an offshoot of  Inprinting and devoted to Document Management solutions, the exhibition-convention has been independent since 2008 and continues with its commitment to the themes connected with technologies and the processes that are part of content management.

From 9 to 11 October 2008 the two exhibitions that are important market dates and of great value to people in digital printing and document management technologies - Inprinting and DocuBusiness - were held at the same time as each other in Vicenza.

At DocuBusiness there was an area just for conventions and this highlighted the sessions and focussed visitors’ attention on topics such as electronic invoicing and  legal archiving, document life-cycle management, and the laws on electronic invoicing. DocuBusiness, as well as separating from Inprinting, had its expected success with large public participation and good interaction with the speakers which was valuable in going into greater depth, gathering opinions, identifying advantages and disadvantages in innovations and the laws relating to electronic document management.

In the landscape of Italian exhibition events DocuBusiness aims to provide a voice for people talking about dematerialization, electronic invoicing, legal archiving and digital signatures, and to represent the whole part of Business Process Management which involves the optimization of the structured use of company data.

Optimizing the document flow for a firm means saving on printing costs, on time for finding and processing the information in order to analyze and compare the impact of different tactical choices.
That a company’s decisional processes should necessarily pass from the documentation process to what really happens in the company is clear. Today technology and solutions allow the virtual barrier to be overcome between production and business processes through careful management of data and documents and products purchased by the company in its life cycle.

DocuBusiness makes its debut at Inprinting 2005.

It’s an area completely given over to document management solutions and services, from paper and electronic purchasing to treatment and document and digital content distribution.
DocuBusiness is an event within an event: it focuses on Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) and keeps plenty of space for the hot topics of the disappearance of paper, electronic invoicing, certified post, substitute conservation, digital signatures and security.

DocuBusiness provides a carefully planned itinerary representing the document lifecycle in an application context that simulates the daily working environment and the resolution of problems in document and digital content flow management.
In the DocuBusiness exhibition area there are sequentially connected spaces to create the information lifecycle application stages. The area’s itinerary develops like the document and content lifecycle, from the purchasing stage to insertion in the company’s value chain, from availability to the management system to security setup, from workflow management to multi-channel distribution, passing through storage, conservation and storage management.

A dedicated conference goes alongside with the exhibition area. It provides the audience both with educational contents and best practices with the aim of showing the tangible advantages of optimised document management processes.
