Uncovering the secrets of document management...

Learn the good, the bad, and the ugly before you commit to a solution.

If a document management solution sounds too good to be true, it probably is.Do you ever wonder what the car salesman isn’t telling you about that too-good-to-be-true deal? Or whether that all-in-one fancy chopper-mixer-blender you see on that infomercial really works the way they say it will? Unfortunately, we run into so many false promises in our personal and professional lives that the mantra “buyer beware” often comes into play.

But today you’re in luck! If you act within the next ten minutes, you can take a peek at some of the secrets of the document and content management industry. (Sorry…we got stuck in the infomercial mode there for a minute.)

Seriously though, take a look at the article 3 Secrets that the Document Management Vendors Aren’t Telling You. It details three of the top areas document management vendors might try to cover up. These include:

    1. A document management system doesn’t cost as much as you think. (But sometimes it costs more than you think.)
    2. Ease of use is a priority. But it’s not necessarily as easy as you think.
    3. Going paperless is not your objective. There’s a lot left to do beyond basic document management.

But wait! There’s more! While we’re on the topic of secrets, take a moment to check out AIIM’s 8 Secrets of an Effective Content or Records Management Implementation.

Bottom line:
You might be surprised by some of the things document management vendors aren’t telling you. Total cost of ownership, ease of use, and getting the most out of your investment are all vital when considering a document management solution. Don’t get stuck with a software that doesn’t meet (or exceed) your expectations.

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
