Document management refers to a set of processes, technologies, and tools that capture documents, organize and store them in an enterprise. This includes managing the information (data) that makes up these documents as well as the meta-data used to describe them.

The implementation of a document management system requires planning, training and buying the right software tools. It involves evaluating workflows and identifying areas that could be improved to make them more effective.

A document manager is a tool that helps an organization document, classify and organize information in a manner that’s easily retrievable for employees. It can be used to create documents, store and manage a variety of different types of documents, such as standard operating procedures reports, contracts, invoices and certificates, spreadsheets, emails and many more.

It’s important to inform all stakeholders of the document and give them the chance to look over the document before it is approved. This is where document management systems come in. They provide a central platform where comments and suggestions can be shared, eliminating the need for long email chains. Stakeholders can leave comments on specific issues like marketing compliance, wording and tone, spelling, etc.

After the document has been reviewed and approved, it can be uploaded to the appropriate database, and then made available for all internal stakeholders to access. Document management systems will automatically notify all users when the document is uploaded.
