Document management is a long established tool of business. For many people though it remains a world of smoke and mirrors. One of the reasons for this is the proliferation of acronyms which the industry has spawned. It seems that keeping language precise and understandable was intentionally avoided and creating terms which are often little understood became the norm. In an attempt to clarify a little we offer our collection of 10 definitions or explanations of common document management terms. To help we have referenced wikipedia to obtain some of the short definitions.

Document management in Burlington- Where to start

Wikipedia defines a Document Management System (DMS) as a computer system ( or a set of computer programs) used to track and store electronic documents and/or images of paper documents.
If you want to store documents away- never to be looked at again - then get a brown cardboard box, fill it with paper, seal it up with tape, and store it in the basement- and in 20 years when you move- open it up- and finally decide to throw it out. Rather extreme case in point. Because if you really have documents that you will never have the need to look at again- shred them now.
