Document management is a critical function for any modern organisation. It ensures that information is accessible, structured, and secure — enabling teams to collaborate effectively, meet compliance requirements, and make faster decisions.
But in today’s hybrid-working environment, traditional tools like SharePoint often fall short. Many businesses struggle with fragmented systems, manual processes, and limited visibility, creating unnecessary complexity and risk.
Here are 5 proven ways to enhance your business’s document management — and how KeyDocs brings all of these capabilities together in a single, streamlined platform.
The problem:
Documents scattered across email, desktops, personal OneDrives, and mismanaged SharePoint libraries. No one knows where the final version lives — or if it even exists.
The fix:
A centralised document control system that gives your team one trusted location to create, store, access, and update documents — with role-based access and audit history built in.
✅ KeyDocs delivers:
A structured document hierarchy, full version control, and automated audit trails — so everyone works off the same page, literally.
The problem:
Manual signoffs, clunky email chains, and chasing managers for approvals slow your team down and introduce errors.
The fix:
Automated, rule-based workflows that route documents for review, approval, or publishing — without the bottlenecks.
✅ KeyDocs delivers:
Customisable approval workflows with automated reminders and status tracking. No more waiting. No more guesswork.
The problem:
If you’re ISO-certified (or aiming to be), regulatory compliance can’t be an afterthought. But SharePoint alone doesn’t enforce retention policies or review cycles.
The fix:
A system that tracks ownership, enforces expiry/review dates, and logs every action — so you’re always audit-ready.
✅ KeyDocs delivers:
Automated review alerts, document expiry notifications, and built-in retention policies that support ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and more.
The problem:
SharePoint’s search can be powerful — but only if your team is trained on metadata, filters, and tagging. Otherwise, finding documents becomes a daily productivity drain.
The fix:
An intuitive interface that makes finding, retrieving, and sharing documents easy for everyone — not just the tech-savvy.
✅ KeyDocs delivers:
Lightning-fast search, filterable views, and easy navigation — no SharePoint training required.
The problem:
SharePoint is powerful, but it often requires internal experts or external consultants to set up and maintain. That’s not realistic for many growing businesses.
The fix:
A solution that works out-of-the-box, with smart defaults and low-maintenance upkeep.
✅ KeyDocs delivers:
Instant deployment, intuitive setup, and zero reliance on internal IT resources. It just works — securely, reliably, and simply.
Tools like SharePoint have their place — but when it comes to structured, compliant, and user-friendly document control, most businesses need more focus, not more features.
KeyDocs is that focused solution.
It gives you:
All without the heavy lifting of traditional systems.
