General attributes

As a part of our talk we are discussing on document management system and document management software. Today we are going to discuss on other general attributes which we can consider for document management software.
Other general attributes to consider:

1. Architecture – Many companies today prefer non-proprietary systems: in document management, this means that the system should store your documents in their original formats and run on a range of hardware. For example, document management software from insurance crm companies is having good document management tools inbuilt.
2. Customizability – Because their function is so central to your everyday operations, the system you choose should be customizable to match your business processes. In many cases, the supplier will be able to integrate the system into the applications you use today, making use of the system almost transparent.
3. Scalability – The system needs to be able to grow with you – both in terms of how many users it supports and how many documents it can handle.
4. Modularity – In the best-case scenario, you’ll be able to buy only the functionality you need at first, and add more as you expand your use of the system.
