A document management system performs the following functions:

• It captures images of paper documents from a multifunction printer or scanner and converts them into a digital image.
• It stores and indexes your digital documents, enabling you to retrieve them with a simple search.
• It integrates with applications already installed on your computers and servers, enabling you to process documents with greater efficiency.
• It establishes security and backup measures to ensure that your information won’t be lost or misused.
• It allows you to create automated workflows, which make document processing even quicker.
