Innovative AI support in the DMS, a modern user experience with the Dynamic Workspace and improved performance and security offer customers greater efficiency in an intelligent and flexible working environment.

Heilbronn/Bochum, January 13, 2025 – The dataglobal Group, visionary developer of the Data City approach for the Digital Workplace, announces the immediate availability of version 9 of the well-known document management system (DMS) windream. windream 9 sets new standards in terms of efficiency, user-friendliness and technical innovation with Artificial Intelligence and forms the core of document-centric work in the comprehensive dataglobal Data City concept. This creates an intelligent, flexible and efficient working environment that seamlessly connects all work locations. In this way, digital transformation is not an end in itself, but allows work processes to be designed in such a way that they become smarter, more secure and more intuitive.

Chat with the AI opens up documents in windream 9.

Facilitating content-related work through AI support

The support provided by artificial intelligence when working with documents in the digital workplace offers numerous advantages. For example, AI provides automatically generated summaries at the touch of a button, which are ideal for providing information quickly, for example as a management summary. Users can ask questions about the content of documents and request translations via intuitive chat. This drastically simplifies content-related work with documents.

Modern user experience with the Dynamic Workspace

With the individually configurable Dynamic Workspace, windream 9 offers a modern design for a user-friendly and clear interface on all end devices. Version 9 offers an even more intuitive navigation as well as extended customization options, which provide additional clarity and more individual settings. A favorites function makes it possible to mark documents or files as favorites for faster access. In addition, enhanced collaboration functions have been introduced so that chats are now also available for folders and files. There are also new options for sending emails, such as a template selection.

More performance and security

The new windream 9 basic system offers an even better performance by implementing the unique VFS-X technology also for share drives. VFS-X as a virtual file system allows users to save and edit documents in a windream drive in exactly the same way as in a normal network drive under Windows and also maps the required ECM functions in the Windows Explorer. This is a great advantage for users, as they can stay in their familiar working environment without having to get used to new tools or user interfaces. This not only increases productivity, but also considerably simplifies the integration of ECM functions into the daily work routine. windream 9 now also supports Microsoft Entra ID for secure authentication.

Artificial intelligence as a key technology

With the introduction of AI functions, windream 9 reaches an important milestone in the further development of the DMS system. At the same time, it marks the beginning of a more comprehensive integration of artificial intelligence into the product range and emphasizes the strategic relevance of this technology for future developments.

“AI is a central building block in our vision of the Data City. It makes content accessible in a particularly user-friendly form and enables the efficient automation of processes. With windream 9, we enable our customers to get started with the use of AI in the digital workplace easily and in compliance,” says Nicolas Schwarzpaul, CEO of the dataglobal Group.

The new version 9 also allows an insight into the future of the windream platform: A new editing mode will simplify complex configurations and mappings and display them visually more clearly. Furthermore, the functions of the app will be integrated into the Dynamic Workspace in order to guarantee the highest possible flexibility on mobile devices.

Summary

windream V9 relies on artificial intelligence for efficient work. Thanks to innovative AI support, Dynamic Workspace and improved performance, the DMS offers more efficiency and security in a modern working environment.

Industry focus: e-billing in healthcare, retail and construction

Industry focus: e-billing in healthcare, retail and construction
Arrow
  • News

Different industries benefit in a variety of ways from the switch to electronic invoicing processes. In this article, we take a look at the benefits of e-invoicing in three specific industries: Healthcare, Retail and Construction.

E-billing in the healthcare sector: Efficiency and security

The healthcare sector is one of the most complex industries when it comes to billing processes. Hospitals, doctors’ surgeries and pharmacies have to deal with a large number of payers such as health insurance companies, patients and insurers. The traditional paper process is time-consuming, error-prone and difficult to monitor.

Advantages at a glance

Automated processes: Electronic invoices can be generated directly from practice management systems or hospital ERP systems and transmitted to the relevant cost units. This significantly reduces manual effort.

Legal compliance: Many legal requirements, such as compliance with data protection standards (e.g. GDPR), can be met more easily with automated workflows. At the same time, the use of standardized formats such as XRechnung supports legally compliant communication with public institutions.

Payment security: As all invoices are archived electronically and are easy to trace, outstanding receivables can be identified more quickly and incoming payments can be monitored more easily.

Sustainability: Hospitals in particular, which work with large volumes of documentation, can save immense resources by dispensing with paper processes.

E-billing in retail: speed and scalability

In retail, which is often characterized by fast transactions and high volumes, e-invoicing is a key tool for making processes more efficient. From small retailers to large retail chains, everyone benefits from the digitization of invoicing. Overall, retailers can optimize their supply chains, react more quickly to market changes and improve their margins by switching to e-invoicing.

Advantages at a glance

Fast processing: Large transaction volumes are the order of the day in retail. Electronic invoices make it possible to create, check and send them quickly – often even in real time.

Error reduction: Automated invoicing processes minimize the risk of manual errors. For example, by using EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), invoices can be transferred directly to the accounting systems of trading partners.

Improved customer loyalty: Many companies now offer their customers digital invoices that can be conveniently accessed by email or customer account. This not only saves time, but also increases satisfaction.

Cost savings: Especially with high invoice volumes, costs for printing, dispatch and storage of paper documents can be drastically reduced.

International standards: For trading companies that operate internationally, standardized electronic invoice formats are essential in order to meet the requirements of different countries.

E-invoicing in the construction industry: Maintaining an overview of complex projects

The construction industry is known for its complex projects involving numerous stakeholders such as clients, architects, subcontractors and suppliers. This complexity often makes invoice processing a challenge. E-invoicing can help here. The digitalization of invoicing processes helps to increase efficiency and transparency on construction sites and complete projects on time and on budget.

Advantages at a glance

Improved project overview: Digital invoicing allows costs and budgets to be monitored in real time. Project managers can immediately see which invoices have been issued, paid or are still outstanding.

Faster payments: E-invoices reduce the time between invoicing and receipt of payment, as digital processes are often linked to automated approval workflows.

Standardization: In the construction industry, different systems are often used by different players. Electronic invoice formats such as ZUGFeRD or XRechnung ensure a standardized data flow.

Traceability: Disputed claims are not uncommon in this industry in particular. E-invoices create clear and tamper-proof documentation that can serve as reliable evidence in the event of disputes.

Sustainability: By digitizing invoicing, tons of paper documents can be avoided – an important contribution in an industry that is often the focus of environmental discussions.

Conclusion

E-billing offers enormous benefits across all sectors by promoting efficiency, transparency and sustainability. While the healthcare sector benefits from improved billing processes and data protection, the focus in retail is on speed and customer friendliness. In construction, on the other hand, transparency and project documentation are crucial. Regardless of the industry, it is clear that the digitization of invoicing is not only a logical consequence, but also a valuable investment in the future.

Phishing Mail Report January 2025

Arrow
  • News

Welcome to the first phishing mail report of the new year! Once again in January 2025, numerous fraudulent emails aimed at capturing recipients’ personal information have spread. The senders cleverly disguise themselves as reputable institutions.

In this article, we highlight the most common phishing campaigns that have been reported to us and give you practical tips on how you can recognize them and protect yourself against them. This report is based on current analyses from the eleven Detection Lab of the dataglobal Group.

You need to be particularly wary of these phishing campaigns in January 2025:

  • ELSTER
  • GEZ
  • ÖGK (Austrian Health Insurance Fund)
  • Disney+

1 ELSTER – Incorrect tax refund

An alleged tax refund is used as bait to entice recipients to click on a link in the email text. The linked page (h**ps://elster-steueramt.net/) is used to steal personal information. We have already reported on the current ELSTER phishing campaign in a separate news article.

Example campaign

Link destination

2) GEZ – Fictitious refund of fees

Here too, a supposed refund is used as a lure. The phishing email contains a link that leads to a fraudulent page. There, not only personal data but also credit card details including CVV number are requested.

Example campaign

3) ÖGK – Deceptively genuine presentation

Fraudsters are imitating the Austrian Health Insurance Fund (ÖGK) and using original colors, logos and design elements to make the fakes look credible. ÖGK customers have been the target of phishing campaigns for several weeks now.

Different variants of phishing e-mails that refer to the name of the ÖGK:

Variant 1

Variant 2

Variant 2

4) Disney+ – Alleged subscription problems

It is claimed that there is a problem with the renewal of the Disney+ subscription. The recipient is supposed to respond within 48 hours and click on a link. The fake page first asks for the access data for the Disney+ account and later for credit card details. The fraudsters thus obtain doubly valuable information. The deceptively genuine design of the phishing page makes this campaign stand out.

Example campaign

Included link leads to this website

5) Other known campaigns

Other phishing activities that have been reported in large numbers include imitations of:

  • Advanzia
  • Comdirect Bank
  • Hanseatic Bank
  • Savings bank
  • ING Bank
  • Targobank

How to recognize and avoid phishing

Phishing e-mails often have characteristic features that stand out on closer inspection. The most common warning signs include

  • Spelling and grammatical errors: Professional companies generally ensure that their communication is free of errors. Phishing emails, on the other hand, often contain conspicuous errors that indicate poor translation or a lack of care.
  • Suspicious links: It is worth taking a closer look at the URL behind a hyperlink. These links often lead to websites with strange or misspelled addresses that only resemble the original pages. Hover over links with the mouse (without clicking) to check the actual address.
  • Impersonal address: Reputable companies often use your name or other personalized information in their emails. Phrases such as “Dear customer” or “Dear member” are often an indication of phishing.
  • Urgent requests: Many phishing emails put pressure on recipients by setting deadlines or threatening consequences if you don’t act immediately. For example: “Respond within 24 hours to save your account.”
