Document Management Software

June 22nd, 2009

An electronic document management system (DMS) is a software system used to store and manage electronic documents and images of paper documents. With document management software applications such as Globodox and Sohodox, organizations can create a single centralized repository of all their electronic and paper documents. They can then provide their staff with controlled access to this repository.

Advanced document management systems such as Globodox also provide features such as check-in/checkout, version control and audit trail. Integrated Workflow which allows routing documents (based on preset rules) is also an important document management feature.

Though the goal of a “paperless office” might be difficult to achieve, document management software systems definitely allow an organization to quickly move to a “less paper” system.
