A document control system ensures that documents are up-to-date, accurate, and accessible to authorized users. It also provides version control, ensuring that the latest version of a document is available to users while older versions are archived or removed from circulation.
Document control systems typically include features such as document storage, search and retrieval, workflow automation, access control, and audit trails. They may also integrate with other systems or processes, such as quality management systems, enterprise content management systems, or electronic document management systems.
Overall, a document control system helps organizations to streamline their document management processes, reduce errors and inconsistencies, improve compliance, and increase productivity by providing a centralized, automated, and secure platform for managing documents.
