Why Use a Document Management System?

Your drawings and documents are a huge investment in time and money. It is estimated that just one full-size working drawing represents more than $2500 in labor costs. Multiply this by the number of documents owned by your organization, and it’s easy to see that your documents are a significant investment.

To maximize this investment, documents should be organized, protected and accessible. A document management system can bring together all electronic drawing files, text files, word processing files, spreadsheets, etc., into one cohesive system.

The Benefits:

  • Improved Organization
    A document management system lets you enter detailed information about each drawing for use in electronic searches, simplifying document retrieval. This helps conduct searches on any data field and archive older paper drawings.
  • Greater Accessibility
    A document management system that brings drawings together allows users to find files without each department’s directory, control drawings within each department, send change notifications, and notify users when draws are checked out.
  • Enhanced Protection
    The document management system will control access to documents and establish security rights, up to five levels, from read-only to full editing privileges for different users. The security features allow users to view and print documents, leave messages or “red-lining” on the document, and route revisions without changing the document itself.
