Document Management software is
used to manage documents,
communications, and information
in a structured environment to
improve productivity,
collaboration, security, and
regulatory compliance. It
encompasses not only electronic
documents, but electronic files
of all types, as well as paper
documents converted to digital
files.
Often-times replacing
shared-file servers or filing
cabinets, Document Management
software is the platform on
which version control, check-in
and check-out, reviews and
approvals, search and retrieval,
profiling, indexing, and many
other file management
capabilities are supported.
Beyond these capabilities, many
companies look for a more
comprehensive “Enterprise
Document Management” solution
that incorporates standard
document management functions
along with records management,
document-centric workflow,
collaboration, and scanning.
These are core capabilities of
ECM (Enterprise Content
Management), that most companies
need for their business
requirements.
Aside from a significantly lower
cost of ownership, Enterprise
Document Management can offer
several benefits in areas of
speed of deployment, user
acceptance, and integration with
common user applications such as
Windows Explorer, Microsoft
Office, Outlook, etc.
Growing concern for government
and industry regulations,
combined with a need to manage
the rapidly expanding volume of
information generated in today’s
electronic work environment, has
led many companies to deploy
document management systems. The
automation of business processes
using workflow management tools
included in many document
management systems has also
increased the demand of these
tools.
More recently, the expanding use
of email and the need to capture
such electronic communications
as business records for legal
concerns and regulatory
compliance, has become a
critical reason for deploying a
document management system that
incorporates email
communications.
