Why do we need document management?

All companies generate a lot of documents - protocols, reports, pictures and other one. One of the most time-consuming process is to find a document containing the information you need.
In a computer network every user stores his documents in a folder on his harddisk. Nobody knows which informations are stored in the virtual brain of the company and which informations are still needed.

How can a document system support the process of document management?

A document management system supports its user by capturing, publishing, finding, and storing electronic documents. One of the value added features is to store all documents with meta-informations like title, author, keywords, and language. Another feature is to organize documents by different criterias.
Document management systems are multi-user systems and often based on database management systems.
