But what is a document-management-system (DMS)?
First a DMS allows you to store any kind of binary data - just like a usual file-system. But there are - of course - some features that extend the normal capabilities of a file-system.
Features
- Document-Metadata: Meta-data can be attached to a document (such as owner, status, create date, etc.)
- Version-Control: Old versions of documents are saved and can be retrieved as needed
- Security-Mechanism: Not every user should have access to every document - a DMS offers restriction-mechanisms
- Easy Access: Users can find files through tables of contents, indexes, and full-text searches and sort the results by certain criteria
- Automatic Email Notification On or Off
