Quick answer
What is the Document Management System?

The solution brings together Centralized document storage, Folder structure & tagging, Full-text search, with the remaining operational areas connected through the same workflow. Each capability is designed to make the underlying record easier to find, update and hand over between the people responsible for the work.
