The cloud computing model enables service providers to scale down or up based on demand, and can also provide benefits such as cost savings and disaster recovery, scalability and reporting. Cloud-based document management systems can offer similar benefits, and they also offer productivity boosting tools to aid your team in working smarter.
Cloud document management systems are accessible via the Internet from anywhere. This is crucial in a time where remote working is becoming more frequent. A cloud-based EDMS that uses HTML can be accessed on any device with an Internet connection and a browser.
Another benefit of a good cloud-based document management system is that it generally requires less maintenance than on-premise systems. The hardware is stored in a third party facility, not your office. This gives your IT staff more time to concentrate on new projects or take care of ticket requests from users.
A cloud document management system should be designed to work on a variety of platforms and support different file formats. LogicalDoc is a prime example of a cloud-based document management system that allows users to upload or link their favorite documents from any Windows, Mac or Android device. The dashboard is accessible online and offline, and it can work with other file storage systems like Google Drive or Dropbox. It also lets users monitor changes to documents and access history of version changes.
