Document management for the small office
Conclusions
The DMSs tested all offered quite impressive functionality, but they focus on different target groups: Whereas Referencer and Paperwork offer good solutions for the small office and home users, Krystal DMS is designed more for medium to large businesses. LogicalDOC is the winner in terms of functionality, but it also requires a longer familiarization period.
Before rolling out a commercial DMS, it is important that you precisely consider which features you need and which you do not. The commercial packages are now so modular, it is difficult to keep track of them, but if you do make a good DMS choice, you can expect significant workload savings in your management and use of documents, which should make it worthwhile introducing such software.
