The term Document Management has been defined by the industry in many different ways. Organizations seeking Document Management solutions are often actually looking for an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution.

As defined by AIIM, Document Management, often referred to as Document Management Systems (DMS), is the use of a computer system and software to store, manage and track electronic documents and electronic images of paper based information captured through the use of a document scanner.

Document management, while still recognized and utilized independently, it is also a common component found within an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) environment.
