As technology advances, businesses are turning to specialists for assistance with complex data management challenges. One solution that can significantly improve organisational efficiency is document management software. Document Management Systems (DMS) are engineered to handle unstructured data, including files, spreadsheets, text, images, multimedia data, and compound documents. They function like a library or catalogue, providing businesses with an efficient and organised way to manage their documents. This comprehensive document is organised into sections covering various aspects of DMS. The introduction briefly overviews DMS, highlighting its key definitions and features and how it can effectively address organisational challenges. Section Two goes into greater detail about the critical elements that constitute DMS. It begins with the process of converting physical documents into digital formats. In Section Three, LogicalDOC, an open-source DMS, is presented, highlighting its key features: enhanced efficiency and productivity, streamlined communication and collaboration, and automation capabilities, resulting in significant time-saving.
