Electronic Document Management

There has been an increase in management of documents electronically due to the nature of the transactions taking place daily in our lives. Some companies have developed a system where documents are located in different locations. Majority of companies have started using a policy that is referred to as (EDM) or the electronic document policy management.

To use this method of managing documents requires users and companies to establish the nature of the documents to be managed. In addition, there must be also a laid down protocol of how to handle the documents when copies and changes are made. In addition, there must be statutory requirements for any user who wants to access the documents. There must also be a workable methodology when one wants to name and record a file or document in the system. Furthermore, there must be a system in place in case a documents needs to be deleted as well as the person who will undertake this task.
