Evolution of Document Management Systems
Traditionally, in any working environment we use Paper Documents,
Electronic Files, Microfilm, Audio and Video Files and all different
types of documents. Maintenance and management of these varied
types of documents with proper security and ease of retrieval
is a mammoth job. Even with proper filing procedures, retrieval
of documents with minimum knowledge of source/nature of the
document will be a very difficult task.
In order to ease the above, the electronic storage of all
types of documents with varied methodology of retrieval, called
Document Management System, evolved. From its birth it has
gone various stages. Now electronic storage not only streamlines
your storage and retrieval process, but also, when incorporated
with workflow, brings in the concept of minimal paper office
and thus improving the overall productivity of any organization.
Further, documents can now be retrieved from LAN, Wan and
remote locations using Internet. This brings in the accessibility
of documents from any part of the world, without physically
carrying the documents wherever you may go.
