The Government has to manage a large volume of documents. These documents include Policies, Forms, Acts and Regulations, Circulars, Guidelines and Standards, Annual reports, Office orders, Office Memorandums and Manuals. The immediate need in this scenario is to have a system where an authorized employee can locate required documents and files in the shortest possible time, update and share them with other relevant users and finally, store them with proper versioning.
