How can a SharePoint CDMS increase business productivity?

Controlled Document Management commonly referred to as CDMs is the process of managing the creation of, storing, reviewing, and archiving critical business documents.

A CDMS is architecture to include three libraries, each having various levels of support and access to employees. The three levels include:

1. Authoring – Is used to manage the creation, updating, approval and archiving of documents. Authored Libraries are locked down by permissions, and is not accessible to all users.
2. Publishing – This library is where documents are copied to, either in its original format or converted to as a PDF and become accessible to customised searches.
3. Archiving – Documents are resided here with restricted access when the information becomes no longer relevant or updated.

What is so good about a CDMS?

• It increases productivity within your team, meaning documents can be found quickly and easily.
• Reduce risks through compliance for publishing, approval, reviews, version controls and other document activities.
• Easily manage and secure business documents with user permissions and hierarchical level access.
