Document management software is a computer system for efficiently organising documents, automating document workflows and improving productivity. It allows you to store, manage and access information quickly using features such as digitized storage for files and OCR. It provides a centralized repository for managing records, files and data across different teams and platforms (e.g. ERP, CRM business communication systems, team portals).
During the days of paper documentation, companies and organizations were faced with the burden of storing and processing thousands of hardcopies. Particularly in highly regulated industries, these unstructured files and records can become out of date, misplaced or compromised by unauthorized users.
It can be very time-consuming to find the correct document. A document management system allows you to locate quickly the document you're looking for by using an easy-to-use user interface. Users can find documents and find them using metadata title, identifiers, and other attributes.
Regardless of the size or complexity of your business there are numerous benefits of using document management software. It lets you automate tasks and streamline process to improve efficiency and productivity across all departments. From sales to quality assurance. It assists in improving security of your data and adhere to regulations by implementing policies such as archive and retention of documents, as well as audit trails. Furthermore, you can save on space and costs by storing documents electronically, rather than in storage cabinets or filing rooms.
