Document Management Traps:
Five Common Pitfalls You Can Avoid
How many of these pitfalls and traps sound familiar?
- We employ multiple systems, creating “silos” that make it difficult to search and retrieve documents.
- We rely on a simple — yet restrictive — collaborative workplace program to manage our documents, and there’s reluctance to change.
- We hesitate to migrate documentation from newly acquired products or licensing deals because we’re worried about how it will affect the DMS.
- We let our eCTD vendor manage submission documentation, but last-minute changes never seem to get integrated back into the DMS.
- We keep plowing more money into a system that doesn’t deliver an effective ROI.
