DMS – Document Management System

DMS refers to software solutions for database-supported management, versioning and archiving of electronic documents. With the help of document management systems, efforts in the area of document research and document creation are reduced. The entire life cycle of documents is supported. Workflows and approval processes create structure in organisations – especially in the generation of legally relevant documents (e.g. safety data sheets, certificates, etc.). Document authorities are defined with the help of a rights and roles concept.
