A document management system (DMS) is a computerized system used to store, share, track and manage electronic files or documents. Some systems include version and revision tracking, where a history of the various versions created and modified by different users is recorded and stored. The term has some overlap with the concepts of content management systems. It is often viewed as a component of enterprise content management (ECM) and is related to product data management (PDM) systems, digital asset management, document imaging, workflow systems and records management systems.
