Article Abstract:
Document management systems are designed to convert information of all kinds, such as photos, letters and reports, into a form which can be used by a computer. They have many benefits, including reducing the amount of storage space a company needs, making information available to all staff, allowing immediate access to a customer's records, improving information control and boosting productivity. However, such systems can be expensive to purchase and run, and all users must be properly trained.
