What actually is document management software? Well in a nutshell, it’s a way for teams and/or businesses to share, store, search and edit documents digitally. More and more businesses are turning to document management software to help boost productivity and reduce costs. Additionally, there’s a push by lawmakers in both the US and UK for legislation that requires files and documents to be stored digitally rather than the traditional way – paper – and in many sectors, these rules and regulations are already intact.
For instance, many medical facilities are being required to store digital copies of their files in addition to traditional paper copies in an effort to slowly make the transition to paperless in the near future. The reason for this is simple, digitally storing and sharing documents is safer and keeps sensitive information protected from unauthorized users more effectively through multiple layers of security. Furthermore, it helps to reduce paper waste, making it a very eco-friendly solution.
