Traditional document management is a constant struggle. Business users must constantly perform a range of tasks on documents throughout the enterprise. They must create, edit, maintain and share a multitude of documents. These tasks are made even more difficult by the fact that documents may exist in different versions and different formats across the organization.

Some common document management challenges include:

• Difficulty locating documents
• Inefficient editing and approval processes
• Inability to collaborate efficiently
• Difficulty maintaining correct document versioning
• Lack of integration between document authoring and document management systems
