Document Management

The phrase “document management” is rather broad and can apply to a variety of scenarios depending on the needs (and size) of the business. In some instances we are talking about a system that merely gives us an efficient way to scan paper and save it out in an orderly, intuitive structure. Other times, we need to bring in search and viewing capabilities that are all handled inside a single piece of software. Likewise we may be working with more than just digital versions of paper files, such as MS Office documents, CAD drawings and graphics files. We can even run into the need for advanced features like document lifecycle management and workflow. These features are especially important when regulations such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley apply, to keep prying eyes away from critical information, and to limit liability by removing old docs once they’ve passed their business or regulatory prime.
