Documents Management System

There are many different levels of Documents Management Software available in the Word- but ‘best of breed’ Agile Soft Technologies DMS have the following features:

1. Focused on managing documents, though they are often capable of managing other ‘electronic information’ such as images, movie files etc..
2. Each unit of information (document) is self-contained..
3. There are few (if any) links between documents (they may be associated by ‘grouping’ the items using a classification scheme or taxonomy).
4. Focused primarily on storage and archiving and document life-cycle management including document expiry.
5. Includes powerful workflow for incorporating business processes into the management of the documents..
6. Targeted at storing and presenting documents in their native format (not limited to MS-Office products but including many different information types)
7. Document access may be restricted at a folder or document level – and other security models may be applied.
8. Limited ability to create web pages (suitable for intranets but not internets) typically produces one page for each document.
