1. The 8 Biggest
DOCUMENT
MANAGEMENT
TRENDS this Year

2. 1. The Cloud
The cloud ensures that documents are available anytime,
anywhere; all you need is an Internet connection.
Web-based document management allows for scalability,
making it the perfect solution for any business.

3. 2. Social Integration
Today, social technology is as much a professional tool as
it is a personal one. It has been successfully integrated
into document management systems, providing a
seamless process for organizing, storing, and revising files.

4. 3. Mobile-Friendly Development
In today’s constantly-moving world, you need access to
important files and documents on the go … from mobile
devices. Accessibility itself isn't enough, however — the
experience must also be user-friendly.

5. 4. Client Portals
Documentation can be shared between project managers
and customers through client portals. Social intranet
software allows your customers to log in, access
documents, and become part of the conversation.

6. 5. Collaboration
Email has typically been the tool for collaborating on
documents. However, email collaboration can be
cumbersome and confusing. When collaborating within a
single social space, these problems disappear.

7. 6. Workflow & Project Management
Project managers can streamline operations by integrating
their scheduling, workflow, communication, and
document management within the same space. This is
precisely the concept behind social intranet software.

8. 7. Scalability
Scalability is a software platform's capacity to grow with
your business. Intranet document management software
that’s been designed with scalability in mind enables your
business to transition smoothly in organizational size.

9. 8. More Affordable Services
Software vendors want their products to be adopted
universally, so they must be affordable. Cloud-computing
and technology have made it possible to buy benchmark
doc management solutions without breaking the bank.
