Document
management systems can be defined as the
set of programs that allows the user to keep a
record of the documents being produced in the
system. It helps store information like: who
created the document and at what time. This
recording can also be done in the form that the
user can also have the Images of the documents
being created.
Basically, Document management systems are
meant for providing complete control over the
various e-documents created in the system like
spread sheets, graphics and word processing
documents etc. They are known as Electronic
Document Management Systems.
This is one system that
facilitates the user to:
- Retrieve: DMS allows the
user to retrieve the e-documents from any remote
computer thus, allowing the user to keep a
complete record of the documents being
created.
- Share: In an organization,
all type of documents that are being created can
also be required for sharing amongst other
users, this can be done using DMS.
- Track: All the documents
that are being created in the network require,
that their track record is maintained. A DMS
allows the user to keep a track of the document
as to when the document was created and by
whom.
- Distribute: Distribution of
the e-documents in the network is important for
any organization so, through DMS the userhas the
ability to distribute to other members in the
network.
- Provide security: The idea
of document sharing is very interesting but it
still accounts for restricted access i.e. the
user has the ability to make a particular
document shared only with a set of certain
preffered people using the DMS.
- Storage & Integration: A DMS allows the user to create or modify the document
from any remote system without having to leave
the current application thus, reducing the
inconvenience being caused.
