Document management solutions handle information overflow

In the business world, knowledge is power. With the increase in digital technology, data is being created at break neck speeds and can pile up far quicker than most companies can process it. Because of this, the need for a document scanning and management system is becoming increasingly important.

"No matter how it's discussed, we're all at fault for creating information overload and, at the same time, we're all victims of information overload," the recent CMS Wire article reads. "It's tough enough to keep track of all the photos, videos, downloads and e-mail on our personal systems. Now imagine trying to keep track of the flood of content being created on an enterprise scale. That, in a nutshell, is what information professionals are up against."

The piece goes on to examine the current landscape of corporate information and enterprise content management systems. It cites a survey conducted by the Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM), which found only 18 percent of respondents have implemented some kind of company-wide solution.

Many businesses have a different view of what they desire in a platform. Fifty-four percent said they plan to move to a single-solution, while 35 percent are using multiple systems and 19 percent want to create something new from the ground up.

Deciding on a digital solution for information management is clearly a complex task that requires more than going to Best Buy and picking something off the shelf. With the help of a document management solution provider, any company can take steps to easily implement an effective systems.
