Today we are faced with an overwhelming amount of information and dealing with documents can be one of the most challenging aspects of business.  Never hunt for a lost document again!  A document management solution lowers the costs of handling and storing your documents and saves staff time by providing instant access to your documents from other software applications.  Access your information the moment you need it, wherever you need it quickly and easily without the hassle of trying to remember where it was saved, or what it was named.

If you're looking into document management for your company because you've heard it's a "must-have," but aren't so sure if it's the right thing for you, ask yourself these questions:

Can each member of your group quickly find any relevant document created by any other group member?

If not, how long does a typical "document quest" take?

Can you call up a list of documents and, simply by looking at the list, know the nature of each?

Is it clear which client any given document is associated with from the file name?

Are documents consistently labeled and stored?

Do you have a single point of access to your document repository, such that a single query will turn up all relevant documents regardless of physical location, format, and source application?

Can you control who can see each document? Who can edit documents?

Do you have a detailed audit trail delineating every action taken by every user on your system with respect to every document in your repository?

Do obsolete files linger on, consuming space, requiring nightly backup?

Is there ever any doubt as to which copy of a document is the authoritative version?
