What is it?
Software that controls and organizes documents throughout an organization.
How does it work?
A Document Management System (DMS) is a type of software that is designed to store, manage and track electronic documents and electronic images of paper-based information captured through the use of a document scanner.
When is it useful?
In a practical business context, DMS is used to consolidate all an organization’s documents and files into one cloud-based or central repository. This system is designed to help businesses go paperless, with the added benefits of easy retrieval, efficient organization, and streamlined collaboration.
Real-World Impact
An example of DMS usage can be seen in a legal firm. These firms deal with a large number of documents regularly, from contracts to case files, and losing any of these could be disastrous. By implementing a DMS, the firm can ensure that all documents are securely stored in a single location. These can be easily searched and retrieved, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
