ISO 9001 does not explicitly regulate whether documents are managed electronically or on paper, for example. However, a digital solution specializing in document control offers numerous advantages. In addition to conformity with the aforementioned standards and easier retrievability of documents, compliance and efficiency are the main benefits: said processes in the lifecycle of controlled documents can be mapped much faster, more easily and with fewer errors than with a paper-based solution or traditional file storage, for example.
One key reason for this is the elimination of media disruptions: Because the entire document control process takes place at a central location, there is no need to send documents back and forth (e.g. by email) and note down approvals or similar information separately. As there is only one valid version, errors are reliably avoided.
