What is the eDocument Distribution System?
The eDocument Distribution System (eDDS) is a tool that enables the user to access and view reports via the Web. These reports, formerly received in printed form or viewed in RMDS, are sent to the eDDS and can be viewed with a Web browser, Adobe Acrobat, text editor, or word processor. They can also be saved, edited, or printed locally. This system was formerly known as the COLD system but the name has been changed to better reflect its purpose. Offices are using this tool to provide their customers with reports via the web rather than paper. There are many benefits of this, not the least of which is saving the cost of paper and the work involved in the manual distribution of reports.
