Document Management System (DMS)

A document management system (DMS) is software that stores, organizes, secures, and tracks electronic documents throughout their lifecycle — from creation and version control to retention and disposal.

How ARC-Files supports this

ARC-Files layers DMS capabilities — centralized search, metadata governance, and lifecycle automation — directly on top of your existing SharePoint Online libraries, with no separate repository to maintain.
