A DMS, or Document Management System, is a computerized system used to store, manage, track, and share electronic documents and images of paper-based documents through software. It is a software solution that automates various document-related tasks, such as capturing, digitizing, and tagging documents, and provides features such as version tracking, access control, and metadata application. A DMS is often viewed as a component of enterprise content management (ECM) systems and related to digital asset management, document imaging, workflow systems, and records management systems. It is a tool that can help organizations store, organize, and manage their electronic documents and images of paper-based documents. A DMS can have a significant impact on the way a business runs, providing benefits such as increased security, collaboration, and automated regulatory compliance. A modern DMS can also provide features such as remote access, custom metadata, and integration with preferred software solutions.
