Document management is how your organization prints, stores, scans, manages and tracks paper and electronic documents. According to ISO 12651-2, a document is "recorded information or object which can be treated as a unit". While this sounds a little complicated, it is quite simply what you have been using to create, distribute and use for years.

   Now, we can define document management as the software that controls and organizes documents throughout an organization. It incorporates document and content capture, workflow, document repositories, COLD/ERM, and output systems, and information retrieval systems. Document management is one of the precursor technologies to content management, and not all that long ago was available solely on a stand-alone basis like its imaging, workflow, and archiving brethren.
  Document management eventually evolved into content management in no small measure because there is more information available to us today than ever before, and most of it is not being created by us.  Thanks to the mainstreaming of a whole range of sources like the Web, thumb drives, smartphones, email, phone call recordings, video, etc. The need has accelerated to deal with information of all kinds: not just in terms of more media types like text vs. images vs. voice files, but also in terms of how structured and thus how readily managed it all is.
