Document Management System
What is a document management system (DMS)?A document management system, also known as a DMS, is a system that allows you to easily store and access documents. A DMS can range from a portable hard drive to centralized local servers to a cloud-based document management software.

On-Premise Document Management Systems
An on-premise document management system is hosted by a physical device or a piece of equipment you own. Think of your USB or portable hard drives, personal computers, local servers, or even file cabinets.With on-premise document management systems, your organization maintains:
- Ownership of how and where documents are stored
- Offline management and access
Cloud-Based Document Management Systems
A cloud-based document management system eliminates the use of a physical device. In this case, the DMS stores documents and files in a hosting environment where a third party is responsible for maintaining safety and physical storage. The users only need is to upload files to the platform with the provider handling the rest.With cloud-based document management systems, your organization benefits from:
- Easy set up and maintenance
- Remote access
- Enhanced data security and compliance
- More predictable costs
