Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The rapid evolution of information and communication technologies has significantly transformed the way organizations manage and process their documents. The implementation of Document Management Systems (DMS) has emerged as a crucial strategy for enhancing information organization, storage, retrieval, and security in corporate office environments. This thesis investigates the implementation of a DMS in a corporate office environment to improve operational efficiency and productivity. The study aims to identify the challenges faced by organizations in implementing DMS, explore the benefits of DMS adoption, and provide recommendations for successful implementation. The research methodology employed a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. Data was collected through interviews, surveys, and document analysis from a sample of corporate offices that have implemented DMS. The findings revealed that organizations face various challenges during the implementation process, including resistance to change, lack of employee training, security concerns, and integration issues with existing systems. However, the benefits of DMS adoption were evident, such as improved document accessibility, reduced storage costs, enhanced collaboration, and streamlined workflows. The discussion of findings delves into the critical success factors for DMS implementation, including top management support, employee training, data security measures, and system customization. The study also highlights the significance of aligning DMS implementation with organizational goals and strategies to maximize its benefits. Moreover, the research emphasizes the importance of continuous evaluation and improvement of DMS to adapt to changing business needs and technological advancements. In conclusion, the implementation of a Document Management System in a corporate office environment is essential for enhancing information management practices, increasing operational efficiency, and maintaining a competitive edge in the digital era. By addressing the challenges and leveraging the benefits of DMS adoption, organizations can optimize their document handling processes and ultimately improve overall performance. This thesis provides valuable insights and recommendations for organizations seeking to implement a DMS successfully and reap its full benefits in the corporate office environment.
