Conference on Document Management and Electronic Archiving

Introduction

A document management system is a computer system used to track and store electronic documents. It is usually capable of keeping track of the different versions modified by different users. The term has some overlap with the concepts of content management systems. It is often viewed as a component of enterprise content management systems and related to digital asset management, document imaging, workflow systems, and records management systems. This conference shows participants how to deal with documents in an electronic way to get rid of the paper's hard copy which takes a lot of space and time.
