What is a document management system?

A document management system, or DMS, is software that stores, organizes, and controls access to a company's records in one searchable place. Instead of files scattered across email, shared drives, and filing cabinets, a DMS gives documents version history, access permissions, and retention rules.

What document management services does Standley Systems provide?

Standley Systems assesses how documents currently move through an organization, then designs and implements a system around DocuWare. Services can include digital forms, approval workflows, retention schedules, secure storage, onsite implementation, training, and ongoing support.

Does Standley Systems still offer document scanning?

Document scanning is handled within Standley Systems' document management engagements rather than as a standalone service. When a project requires paper or legacy records to be digitized, scanning can be incorporated into the broader document management implementation.

What document management software does Standley Systems support?

Standley Systems is a DocuWare partner and implements DocuWare for document management. The platform provides cloud storage, electronic forms, workflow automation, and records retention, while Standley Systems handles configuration, integration, implementation, and ongoing support.

Where are Standley Systems' document management services available?

Standley Systems provides document management services throughout Oklahoma, including Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Chickasha, Ardmore, Enid, Lawton, and Broken Arrow, as well as across the Dallas-Fort Worth area from its Plano office.

What Document Management Actually Involves

For many businesses, documents are scattered across email threads, shared drives, local folders, filing cabinets, and different departments. Finding the right version of a contract, invoice, HR record, or compliance document can depend on knowing who created it and where they saved it.

A document management system creates a more consistent way to capture, store, find, share, and manage those records.

A document management implementation with Standley typically focuses on four areas.

Understanding Your Current Document Workflows

We start by looking at how documents currently move through your organization. That could include contracts, HR files, compliance records, invoices, purchase orders, or other business-critical information.

We identify what gets created, where it goes, who needs access to it, where manual steps slow things down, and how long records need to be retained.

Configuring DocuWare Around Your Processes

Rather than forcing your team into a generic workflow, we configure DocuWare around the way your organization works.

Depending on your needs, that can include digital forms that replace paper-based processes, automated routing and approvals, role-based access controls for sensitive information, document indexing and search, version history, and records retention scheduling.

Organizing and Managing Existing Records

For organizations with existing digital records spread across shared drives, folders, or legacy systems, we help determine how those documents should be organized and managed within DocuWare going forward.

If your project requires physical document scanning or digitization, Standley can recommend a preferred vendor for those services. Scanning and digitization are not included within Standley’s document management implementation scope.

Training and Ongoing Support

A document management system only works if people actually use it.

Standley provides implementation guidance and staff training to help your team understand how DocuWare fits into their day-to-day work. We also provide ongoing support as your processes, workflows, and document management needs change.

Document management services are available throughout Oklahoma, with Standley offices in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Chickasha, Ardmore, Enid, and Lawton. We also serve businesses throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area from our Plano, Texas location.

When a project involves requirements related to HIPAA, CJIS, PCI, or other regulatory frameworks, document workflows and access controls can be configured to support your organization's compliance efforts. Standley provides document management implementation and configuration guidance; responsibility for meeting applicable regulatory and compliance requirements remains with your organization and its designated compliance professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Document Management

What is a document management system?
What does a document management engagement with Standley include?

Standley starts by assessing how documents currently move through your organization and identifying opportunities to simplify or automate those processes. We then configure DocuWare around your needs, which can include digital forms, automated approval routing, access controls, document storage, search, and retention scheduling.

Implementation, staff training, and ongoing support are also available. When existing paper or legacy records need to be digitized, that work can be included within the project scope.

How is document management different from managed print?

Managed print focuses primarily on physical printing and imaging devices, including printers, copiers, supplies, maintenance, and device management. Document management focuses on how digital files and records are captured, stored, accessed, routed, and retained. The two services can work together, such as when a document scanned at a multifunction printer needs to be automatically routed into a digital workflow.
How long does a document management implementation take?

The timeline depends on the scope of the project. A focused implementation involving one department or workflow may take significantly less time than an organization-wide rollout involving multiple departments, document types, integrations, and existing records. Standley evaluates the scope and requirements during the initial assessment so the implementation plan can be built around the organization's needs.
