Document Management Solutions

Document Management Solutions is a term that encompasses many aspects of digital imaging architecture. A good document management solution should include, a way to scan and convert your text or graphic document into digital format, a comprehensive search engine that allows the documentation to be found by name or by the content within the document, easy accessibility to the information for those who are authorized to view it, and security that prevents unauthorized personnel from accessing the data.
When selecting a document management solution the return on investment is important to consider. What type of scanner will be needed to convert the original documentation; How user friendly is the software; How much training will be required to use the system; How is security set up; Who will administer the system; and finally what will be done with the original documentation?
While some solutions may seem expensive the right document management solution can do what computers always promised, make life a whole lot easier.
