Document management is the process of organizing, storing and retrieving information in a systematic way. This is usually done so that the information can be easily retrieved when needed. The most common types of documents managed include financial records, legal records and documentation for projects.

As technology continues to advance, document management software has become more sophisticated and flexible. It allows companies to store all their documents in one place and manage them from there. This saves time because you don't have to search through emails or other similar accounts for the information you need. It also saves money because there's no longer any need to purchase multiple storage devices or pay for extra space on a server or cloud storage account.

These are some tips for effective document management:
Know what needs to be retained . You'll need to decide what documents should be kept for reference purposes and which ones can be destroyed once they're no longer needed. Keep in mind that once something is gone forever it may be impossible to recover later if necessary — especially if it's been deleted by accident or as part of routine maintenance work. So make sure you always have copies stored somewhere safe where they won't be accidentally deleted by someone else!

Organize your documents into categories.
Create folders on your computer's hard drive or external storage.
 
There are many reasons why you should be using a document management system. Here are some of them: · Document management is essential for any business that deals with documents and files. It helps you store, track, share and retrieve all important documents for the business without losing any of them.

· It makes sure that your employees are able to find the right documents at the right time without having to search through piles of paper or folders.

· A good document management system allows you to create templates so that new documents can be created easily, saving time and effort.

· It also helps reduce clutter in your office by keeping everything in one place instead of having it spread across multiple locations (depending on how many employees you have).

· Document management software allows you to make use of advanced features like document collaboration, which allows multiple users to work on a single document at once without overwriting each other's changes or access rights, as well as versioning (keeping previous versions of a file available in case you need them later).
