Document Management System
A Document Management System (DMS) is a digital tool that helps organizations store, track, and manage electronic documents. Think of it as a sophisticated digital filing cabinet that not only stores files but also helps track who views or changes them. In banking, this is particularly important for handling customer documents, contracts, and regulatory paperwork. These systems help ensure important documents don't get lost, are easily searchable, and can only be accessed by authorized people. Common systems include SharePoint, OpenText, or FileNet, but many banks also use custom-built solutions.
