Document Management

Document management is the system or process of managing business information from various sources, whether paper or electronic. The document management process usually includes converting paper documents into an electronic format through data capturing and streamlining it into a single location where you can store, track, monitor, control and evaluate all relevant information and documentation. Effective document management can save time and money and provides centralised storage, document security, audit trails, access control and streamlined search and retrieval.

Standard document management involves several main activities:

  • System Customisation
  • Document Capture and Input
  • Document Indexing and Classification
  • Document Security
  • Document Search
  • Document Processing
  • Workflow Automation
  • User Dashboard Functionality

The Importance of Implementing a Document Management System

An efficient document management system is critical to streamlining the efficiency of any business operation. Implementing a document management system can promote the digitisation and electronic formatting of business documents and play a pivotal role in increasing the speed, efficiency and overall ease of facilitating the management of all business documents. Implementing a document management system remains vital to ensure a company’s operational efficiency for several reasons:

Save on Resources:

Despite technological advances, many dated document management systems retain the use of paperwork. These systems often require physical document transfers from one employee to the next, which can become a mundane and time-consuming process that wastes energy and reduces overall productivity.

Implementing a document management system enforces the digitisation of all business documentation and will significantly boost productivity. This system can save the time, effort and resources required to deal with paperwork, streamlining the document management process.

Prevent the Loss of Critical Documents:

Working with paperwork will inevitably result in the misplacement or loss of documents due to human error; this can lead to wasting time, money and labour effort spent on hunting down or recreating lost documents of great importance.

Implementing a document management system promotes using electronic document storage, providing easy document access. Even in file deletion, some document retrieval methods remain a possibility.

Mitigate Security Threats:

Many business documents contain sensitive information and trade secrets that require protection; however, manual document management systems that use paperwork offer little to no security and remain susceptible to theft. A document management system can mitigate many cyber security threats because electronic document management systems provide much greater security and protection methods. While cyber threats remain a concern, many countermeasures are available when implementing an electronic document management system to ensure the complete safety of all business documentation and critical information.

Reduce Editing Challenges:

Paperwork requires continuous reprints whenever documents need edits or amendments, and this is a severe waste of time and business resources and causes damage to the environment. The paperwork also remains susceptible to multiple versions of the same document, which can create confusion among employees regarding the final version. 

Implementing a document management system allows for unlimited edits and amendments and remains paperless due to electronic storage capacity. Electronic document management systems also allow for tracking changes to any document and access to document version history, reducing the chances of confusion among employees.

Eliminate Accessibility Challenges:

Document management systems that rely on paperwork also cause accessibility issues, primarily when signing off on important documents. Suppose employees cannot physically sign off on the paperwork due to being on leave or out of the office. In that case, this can hinder the entire team and result in a considerable decrease in productivity. Implementing an electronic document management system allows for universal access, provided there is stable internet connectivity.
