A software that lets you manage your documents is a document management software. Manage involves every step of the document lifecycle, right from its creation to publishing and storing, and its deletion if it has an expiry date. It allows you to scan and store the electronic version of paper documents and can also handle audio and video files. It lets all documents be tagged for easy traceability and searchability and enables the linking of related documents for cross-referencing.

It is a document repository that helps automate your document management process as well as ensures security by allowing only permission-based access.
