Many business documents that are in use today originate in electronic form and remain in that form throughout there entire document life cycle. Some documents/drawings originate and/or are produced to hardcopy throughout their life cycle for various business reasons.

Some document/drawing management designed solutions provide for the tracking of both electronic and hardcopy documents without the hardcopy documents being converted to electronic file format. In this scenario the document management software would not provide the level of benefits (i.e. on-line viewing, printing, distribution etc.) for the hardcopy documents that are available with electronic files but it would still provide full tracking and auditing capabilities.

More advanced document/drawing management designed solutions incorporate the full level of benefits to all documents by having the hardcopy documents converted to electronic file formats. In this scenario the hard copy documents must be converted into electronic files through a document scanning process. Some organizations choose to perform the scanning process in-house while other organizations choose to have the process performed by an outside service provider.
