What is document management?
Document management is a system or process used to capture, track and store electronic documents such as PDFs, word processing files and digital images of paper-based content.
Document management can save you time and money. It provides document security, access control, centralized storage, audit trails and streamlined search and retrieval.
Why is document management important?
Paper storage may require significant physical space. A document management platform can integrate disparate documents for greater control, access and process efficiency. It offers advantages in terms of information retrieval, security, governance and lower cost of operations. What’s more, proper records management is becoming a legal imperative.
