Document Management, Document Organizer-Leadorganizer.net

Leadorganizer.net is having document management system (DMS) as its very important features. A document management system (DMS) is a computer system (or set of computer programs) used to track and store electronic documents and/or images of paper documents. Document Management System is related with Digital Asset Management, Document imaging, Workflow systems and Records Management systems.

History of Document Management
Document management should be divided into two streams, based on the material being managed. Beginning in the 1980s, a number of vendors began developing systems to manage paper-based documents. These systems managed paper documents, which included not only printed and published documents, but also photos, prints, etc.

Later, a second system was developed, to manage electronic documents, i.e., all those documents, or files, created on computers, and often stored on local user file systems. The earliest electronic document management (EDM) systems were either developed to manage proprietary file types, or a limited number of file formats. Many of these systems were later referred to as document imaging systems, because the main capabilities were capture, storage, indexing and retrieval of image file formats. These systems enabled an organization to capture faxes and forms, save copies of the documents as images, and store the image files in the repository for security and quick retrieval (retrieval was possible because the system handled the extraction of the text from the document as it was captured, and the text indexer provided text retrieval capabilities.

EDM systems evolved to where the system was able to manage any type of file format that could be stored on the network. The applications grew to encompass electronic documents, collaboration tools, security, and auditing capabilities...


Document Management at Leadorganizer.net
Document Management is an important and useful feature of Leadorganizer.net. Many Businessmen have already pre-written email and mail templates that have proven successful for them. Rather than having to re-create these documents, Leadorganizer.net will allow businessmen to easily upload the document making it available at any time for any client. If a Document is uploaded it can also be made “Public” so that fellow agents/coworker working together can share the templates and save time during setup.

Leadorganizer.net also enables creation of virtual folders; upload, store, access or download; or bookmark documents such as application forms, letters, and health information forms etc. from anywhere and anytime. Simultaneously update profile automatically when a document is send/receive and reflect in the history. Create a template letter for future use with mail merge functionality.
