Management system for your business

Information. Your business depends on it. But can your employees easily locate the information they need when they need it? In most companies, documents are stored in a variety of places - on networks, on individual PC hard drives, CDs, and zip drives, in file cabinets and in desk drawers. To complicate matters, the people who need to access these documents are often situated in different locations as well.

The answer for an increasing number of businesses - large and small - is a document management system, reports the New York State Society of CPAs. The following information can help you determine if a document management system is right for your business.

Document management is an organizational method. More specifically, it is a technology-based means of storing documents. Documents (and sometimes images) are held in a single repository that simplifies managing and retrieving the files when necessary. Since organizations have diverse needs, systems are often custom designed.
