What to Look For In a Document Management System

Industry experts highlighted what they think are some of the most important features and functionalities that small businesses should look for when choosing a document management solution. We at NTIPL ensure that all the requirements are met.

  • File structure: The system should offer an easy-to-use file structure that makes sense to users, such as a cabinet-drawer-folder approach.
  • Searching: You want a wide variety of options for quickly finding files. You should be able to search not only by the file’s name, but also by the content inside the file.
  • Ease of use: The system should be simple for employees to use. If it is too difficult, you won’t get complete buy-in from the staff, which will make the system less effective.
  • Mobile access: You want a document management system that is accessible via smartphones and tablets.
  • Integration: The system should easily integrate with the programs you’re already using, such as your email client and customer relationship management software.
  • Scanning: The solution should be compatible with a wide variety of scanners.
  • Security: The system should allow you to restrict who can see specific folders and files. You should be able to set access permissions by employee.
