The One Universal Need: Document Management Software

Written by: Juanchito

In my career I have worked at a dozen of different places. In all of those places, I have come across one universal need for each and every business: Document Management Software.

Let me just highlight a few examples:

While in college I worked with a document management company where I first realized how great document management could be. I saw how the legal and real estate industry could not survive without some sort of Contract Management Software. If you could only see the piles of paper that lawyers and real estate agents created. Well, you can imagine if you’ve ever bought a home or been through any sort of legal issue how many papers those people go through.

The key isn’t to just have those documents electronically. The key is to have a document management software that is able to convert that scanned image into text and make it searchable. Then, you’ve derived the real power out of that document. Or as FineTooth Contract Management Solution says you’ve pulled out simple, searchable and actionable intelligence.

Well, I then proceeded to work at a couple University systems. Just imagine almost 30,000 students sending in applications, reference letters, transcripts, scholarship applications and you can quite easily see why document management was a great necessity in education.

I then proceeded to work in the healthcare industry. Me oh my!! I can’t believe how much paper doctors use. Even more crazy is how much paper gets sent between doctors. I thought fax machines were out of style, but I was wrong. I haven’t even gotten started on those stacks of papers that patients give you showing their past medical history.

What to do with all the paper?

Easy, it’s the universal need: Document Management Software. It’s worth every penny you pay for it.
