Picking the Right Document Management Service
The benefits of document management systems cannot be denied, from boosting productivity to helping improve environmental health through paperless document filing. However, prior to purchasing any document management software or system, you must make it a point to ask your vendor three crucial questions:
1. How long has the company been developing and supporting document management software?
2. How many document management clients did the company have over the last two years?
3. Can they prove to you through financial statements or any other documents that they are financially sound as a company?
Aside from the three main concerns mentioned above, you'd also like to look into two other issues when trying to choose a document management service.

Storage of information has evolved with the passing of the time, and it will continue to do so with the passing of more time. If you use a file format that is strictly controlled by one vendor, you can have problems keeping information into the future when that format is no longer supported.
Considered as the standard for digital archival formatting, the TIFF is most recommended. There are many types of TIFF viewers which are available to everyone for free. Scanning documents, saving them as TIFF documents and pulling out their contents as ASCII text format is the only way to achieve "eye readability" in digital format. Furthermore, there are so many network device management developers nowadays who are designing tools for open standards like TIFF, thus inspiring innovation. Picking a document management system that makes use of TIFF or any other open file format makes it possible for the system's performance to be consistently improved by developments in computer hardware and software as well as communication technologies.
