Document Management: clarifying chaos and reducing clutter.
Document management is a very broad term describing a variety of cataloging processes. Even crudely shoving your important paperwork into a desk drawer can be referred to as document management. At it highest level, however, document management entails keeping tack of any classified document for the duration of its existence.
Most document management articles on the Internet and in print agree on the the definition and function of document management as it’s practiced in a modern business environment. All businesses need to be able to create, classify, store, update, coordinate, and locate their most important documents in a simple an organized way, and document management makes this possible.
When computers were still new, it took sophisticated and expensive equipment to be able to organize a business’s important documents, and so only really wealthy companies were able to utilize document management systems.
