Document Management Features?

What features do you need in document management software? I’ve come up with a list, using standard paper based (real) document management, over software based (virtual)

  1. Easy to file - You don’t walk over to a filing cabinet and start building one everytime you need to put a document in, the first time perhaps you add an index card or a new colour tag, but mostly you open a drawer and put a document inside. Hopefully it’s in the right place too.
  2. Easy to retrieve - Ok, this is a hard comparison, as long as number 1. is done correctly, then it should be easy to retrieve the document.

Well, I think I covered the main points. That is how easy document management software should be, and it will be, just watch this space!
