It's easy to say that document management streamlines document workflows; after all, it's in the name. But what does that really mean? Here's a closer look at how this solution works in the real world!

Why Document Management Works

Some people may think about documents only in their final form--and while that's important, it's somewhat limiting. Remember that documents start out as data and pass between multiple people, teams, and sometimes even platforms before reaching their final destination.

That includes:

• Drafting documents.
• Sending files to other teams for review.
• Leaving comments and making revisions.
• Sending files for final approval.
• Sharing files with external stakeholders or separate internal teams.
• Gathering signatures or other data.
• Storing files in one or more formats.

That's why document management works: It's not just about documents themselves, but about the workflows, processes, and people involved in their lifecycles. This solution gives you an inside look at every step and helps you improve them all.

Streamline Workflows with Document Management

So, how does document management improve entire workflows? Here are just a few examples:

Eliminating Extra Steps

Extra workflow steps don't just waste time--they also introduce new opportunities for human error and security vulnerabilities. By identifying and eliminating these unnecessary tasks, you make your workflows stronger, sleeker, and safer.

Improving Visibility

Document management allows you to keep track of your data in all its forms, even as it's shared and updated. Version control, access management, and other solutions give you a complete view of your document landscape--which means you can address bottlenecks and other efficiency issues much more accurately.

Enabling Collaboration

With document management, you take disparate tasks, responsibilities, and data types and treat them as a complete document lifecycle. That enables people to work together instead of fragmenting their work and introducing barriers to collaboration. The result is a clearer, faster workflow and better data management across the board.

In conclusion, document management works because it doesn't focus on any single part of your workflow. Instead, it brings people and tasks together to do even more.
