History

Document Management Systems where originally created to manage paper based documents, photographs, published material and so on. Later on these systems evolved to cater for the multitude of electronic document types that people started creating on their computers. As these documents needed to be shared and managed across organisations. Such systems where known as EDM (Electronic Document Management) systems.

Early EDMs just managed documents in their native file format, such as Word, Excel and Pdf. Today’s document management systems however are expected to store document content as content (html or xml) such that the content can be indexed and searched; allowing for a new type of use.
