We’re not talking about physical documents, but rather local hard drives and servers inside your office.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" id="pros-of-on-premises">Pros of On-Premises</h3><p>There are several advantages to having your document management system on your premises. First, it gives the business more control over who can access its data. This method significantly reduces the chances of falling victim to hackers accessing your confidential information. </p><figure itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" class="figure text-center full full" data-id="60967"><picture><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/on-premise-storage.webp" type="image/webp" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/on-premise-storage.jpg" media="(min-width: 1400px)" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/on-premise-storage-800x533.jpg" media="(min-width: 400px)" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/on-premise-storage-680x453.jpg" media="(min-width: 200px)" /><img decoding="async" width="800" height="533" loading="lazy" class="landscape" src="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/on-premise-storage-800x533.jpg" alt="on premise storage" title="on-premise-storage"><figcaption itemprop="caption"><div class="caption">Documents stored on your business premises are kept on local hard drives and servers.</div></figcaption></figure><p>On-premises document management systems mean you should employ an in-house support team. Keeping things in-house removes the need to depend on an external support team, reducing the amount of time it takes to resolve issues if and when they occur.</p><p>Furthermore, an on-premise DMS helps the user be more compliant with local regulations. Each country and continent has its own standards for how companies should handle professional and employee data, so businesses must act within the parameters set by their local regulator.</p><p>By taking full control of your management system, your business doesn’t need to worry about the actions of a third-party solution that you’ve employed to manage your important documents. Ensuring you are compliant with regulations reduces the risk of being penalized for not following your local laws.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" id="cons-of-on-premises">Cons of On-Premises</h3><p>There are some downsides to keeping your DMS on-site. If your local drives are damaged — and you don’t have an <a href="https://www.commquer.com/best-unlimited-online-backup/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">alternative backup solution</a> — you risk losing all your critical business documents. The same is true if someone breaches your security and steals your hard drives.</p><p>From a financial standpoint, your business will likely need to invest a significant amount up front to install the servers that host your DMS, and the software used to manage it. Factor in the increased energy usage to keep the servers alive, and you’ll soon see a large hole burned in your business account.</p></section><section><h2 class="wp-block-heading" class="wp-block-heading" id="document-management-systems-in-the-cloud">Document Management Systems in the Cloud</h2><p>The alternative to having a local document management system is to have one that exists in the cloud. While some businesses are reluctant to take this route (fearful someone will compromise their confidential data), there are several benefits to storing your documents in cloud storage.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" id="pros-of-cloud-storage">Pros of Cloud Storage</h3><p>The most obvious benefit is that it’s much easier to make all your documents accessible across different departments, locations, employees and devices — including mobile devices. That’s especially important now, with the increase in remote work. </p><p>With cloud storage document management solutions, all you have to do is create a user account for each member of your staff, and they only need to log in to the cloud to access the documents.</p><figure itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" class="figure text-center full full" data-id="60964"><picture><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cloud-based-dms.webp" type="image/webp" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cloud-based-dms.jpg" media="(min-width: 1400px)" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cloud-based-dms-800x800.jpg" media="(min-width: 400px)" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cloud-based-dms-680x680.jpg" media="(min-width: 200px)" /><img decoding="async" width="800" height="800" loading="lazy" class="square" src="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cloud-based-dms-800x800.jpg" alt="cloud based dms" title="cloud-based-dms"><figcaption itemprop="caption"><div class="caption">A DMS kept in the cloud still has tight security features and lets you access files from multiple computers, including mobile devices.</div></figcaption></figure><p>Of course, keeping a cloud-based document management system also ensures that you’ll still be able to access your documents from your new computer if anything should happen to your hardware. </p><p>Using a cloud-based DMS is also more efficient. When using an on-site solution, your IT department needs to spend time and energy setting up your DMS software and servers.</p><p>A cloud solution removes much of that up-front effort as your service provider does most of the legwork.
