Are you bogged down with your mammoth paperwork and looking for something paperless? As we move on to a paperless era, document management could be your saviour.
Physical filing systems have long been used for capturing and storing paper documents. But organizations face higher costs due to manual processing, risk of human error, physical damage, retrieval issues and lack of space. In the latter case, it’s not uncommon to find warehouses full of archived paper documents or basements lined with rows of filing cabinets.
You can capture, track and store electronic documents such as PDFs, word processing files and digital images of paper-based content at your fingertips with the help of document management.
According to the Association for Intelligent Information Management, document management software “incorporates document and content capture, workflow, document repositories, output systems and information retrieval systems. Also, the processes track, store and control documents.
Document management can save an organization time and money. It provides benefits such as document security, access control, centralized storage, audit trails and streamlined search and retrieval.
While the world has not gone fully paperless, more and more organizations are taking advantage of automation and online document management tools. An added benefit is the storage capacity of a server versus a physical filing cabinet or warehouse.
