What can it do for me?

A document imaging system can do a lot for a business:

• provide a core for effective disaster recovery
• minimize storage, reproduction and transmission of paper
• provide a backup for important documents as an archive
• create document representations in a shareable format
• drive document retrieval with a powerful, searchable database
• provide a flexible array of formats to accommodate a variety of documents
• integrate with external programs that create and manage documents (e.g. Microsoft Word)

A document management system may or may not reduce the amount of paper, but it will change how paper is used, and information is managed.

What questions should you ask in making decisions about a document imaging system?

• would you be better off with a general purpose or a specialized system?
• is your need archieval- or retrieval-driven?
• will the system handle a large or small volume? similar or different documents?
• do you want the databe(s) to be shared or networked? limited or general access?
• will you include all backfiles or designate a cutoff date?
