Document Management System

When it comes to document management systems, the trend—at least for larger companies—has been to install a centralized document management system within their office environment. Many business professionals used these centralized systems to solve collaboration problems, but more convenient tools such as e-mail and Microsoft Office applications were easier to use. The centralized solutions didn’t offer the speed and flexibility that business professionals were looking for. These ‘centralized inconveniences’ led professionals to revert to their old practices of simply using e-mail to collaborate, which didn’t provide the tracking technology, updates or merging features that ideally should be included within a document management system. Many business professionals were or still are experiencing document chaos!

NextPage, (a provider of effective document management systems) has developed a document management system that combines speed and flexibility with the Digital Thread™ tracking service technology.

NextPage Control implants a Digital Thread™ algorithm into all shared files that allows users to track and manage all versions of a document throughout its lifecycle. Users can see where each version is stored, including other hard drives and email, so teams don’t waste valuable time working on the wrong version of a document.
