Explaining through the name itself, web based document management is in essence an offshoot of the document management system. When document management had initially come in to the picture as a requirement for the companies and organizations world over, it was largely limited to the paper based documents. Soon after that it started to encompass the other forms of communications like pictures too. Then came the era of information technology when electronic documents slowly and steadily replaced the paper based documents. And with the advent of internet, web based document management came to the front.

Electronic Document Management If someone were to ask you to take a guess on the number of documents that are produced in the electronic form throughout the world per day, chances are, you would be lost. This is simply because we cannot put a figure to the mind boggling number that would be the answer to the question. Now, realizing this, the real question that arises is: how is all this managed?

Document Management may not be a word that itself would be too famous but the role and impact it has on the processes in various multinational organizations cannot be described in words. With companies having to keep records for years so that they are not left in the lurch just because of a document, document management plays a significant part in helping ease this process and answer the various questions that accompany it.

With the role that computers have come to play in our lives today, we seem to have forgotten that there was once an era when things were not as simple and clicking was as yet a foreign concept. Now, we create and store documents without giving them or the question about how exactly they are managed a second thought. Wherever public dealing and transactions are involved, creation and storage of documents is one of the most regular and important aspects. Here, not only the storage but the maintenance of these documents over longer periods of time is also necessary.
