The conventional means of document management, which is still being utilized by some organizations, has great reliance on the paper-based document management systems; however, electronic document management system is still highly recommendable at this point of time.

The workflow is mainly about the automatic routing of documents and maintaining the smooth flow of all the procedures involved. An finally for security, the process of providing access is the main concern so that the integrity of the data is maintained as well.
