Overview Document management systems have come a long way from their original beginnings. The first systems were centered on scanning and storing paper documents as digital images. While "Effective" for that time and the technology available, many users were simply not satisfied with these simple systems and wanted to do more - such as pass the document around a network, manage electronic documents like a Microsoft Word file, and exchange data from the scanned images with a legacy application. However, as EDM becomes integrated with more mainstream applications, the stumbling block has become the need to hardwire each EDM application to each business or legacy application. The programming effort for this is high, the programming is not reusable, and once made, the connections are fragile.
