What is document management?

Originally, a document management system (DMS) was a computer program (or set of programs) used to track and store images of paper documents. More recently, the term has been used to distinguish between imaging and records management systems that specialize in paper capture and records respectively. Document management systems commonly provide check-in, check-out, storage and retrieval of electronic documents often in the form of word processor files and the like.

Document management systems control documents from their creation through to long-term archiving. Document management includes functions like:

• Check in/Check out. For checking stored information for consistency
• Version management. To keep track of different versions of the same information with their revisions and renditions (same information in a different format)
• Search and navigation. For finding information and its associated contexts
• Visualizing. For showing information in structures like virtual files, folders, and overviews

A content management system (CMS) is a computer software system for organizing and facilitating collaborative creation of documents and other content. A content management system is frequently a web application used for managing websites and web content, though in many cases, content management systems require special client software for editing and constructing articles. The market for content management systems remains fragmented, with many open-source and proprietary solutions available.
