Thesis Abstract

Abstract
In the contemporary corporate environment, the efficient management of digital documents is essential for enhancing productivity, ensuring data security, and facilitating seamless collaboration among employees. The implementation of a Digital Document Management System (DDMS) offers a strategic solution to address these challenges. This thesis explores the process and impact of implementing a DDMS in a corporate office setting. The study is guided by the objective to investigate the effectiveness of a DDMS in enhancing document management practices, improving workflow efficiency, and ensuring data security within the organization. The research begins with a comprehensive review of existing literature on digital document management, technology adoption in office settings, and the benefits of implementing a DDMS. Through a systematic literature review, key insights are gathered on best practices, challenges, and success factors associated with DDMS implementation. The literature review also highlights the importance of organizational readiness, stakeholder engagement, and training programs in ensuring the successful adoption of a DDMS. The methodology chapter outlines the research design, data collection methods, and analysis techniques employed in this study. A mixed-methods approach is adopted, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with employees at different levels of the organization. The research methodology also includes a comparative analysis of data before and after the implementation of the DDMS to evaluate its impact on document management practices and workflow efficiency. The findings chapter presents the results of the study, including insights into the perceived benefits and challenges of the DDMS implementation. The analysis of survey data and interview responses reveals improvements in document retrieval, version control, and collaboration among employees following the implementation of the DDMS. However, challenges related to user resistance, training gaps, and integration issues are also identified as barriers to the successful adoption of the DDMS. The discussion chapter delves into the implications of the findings and offers recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of the DDMS in the corporate office setting. Strategies for addressing user resistance, enhancing training programs, and improving data integration processes are discussed to maximize the benefits of the DDMS implementation. The chapter also highlights the importance of ongoing evaluation and feedback mechanisms to ensure continuous improvement in document management practices. In conclusion, this thesis provides valuable insights into the implementation of a Digital Document Management System in a corporate office setting. The study contributes to the existing literature on technology adoption and organizational change management by offering practical recommendations for enhancing document management practices and workflow efficiency through the effective utilization of a DDMS. Ultimately, the findings of this research underscore the significance of strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and training programs in ensuring the successful implementation and adoption of a DDMS in a corporate office environment.
