The evolution of document management systems during the last decade has been remarkable. In the early 1990's most systems were highly proprietary and monolithic and were only installed in one or two departments. The software cost was several thousand dollars per seat. The data and documents were stored in proprietary format. The system couldn't share information with the line-of-business applications.

Now, document and content management solutions have become the central place, a "workspace", for securing and sharing documents and related data. Systems consist of integrated modules allowing organizations to invest in only those applications that meet their needs. The applications are very pliable and contain high-level tools so that the workspaces can be created and managed in the context of the business. The workspaces also contain many organizational and communication tools that allow teams to collaborate more effectively.

Today's document management solutions have become broad support infrastructure applications for the entire enterprise. They manage electronic documents and files, email and attachments, scanned documents, and records. They allow you to create secure workspace web pages that contain documents and data for a particular contract, project, or matter. They also have integration with leading office productivity, e-mail, and mobile applications.

Many factors are driving the rapid adoption of enterprise document and content management systems. Worker productivity, regulatory compliance, and staying competitive are the three top reasons for implementing a system.
