4 Evaluate Costs

Cost is a critical factor in choosing a document management system. Look beyond the initial price tag and consider the total cost of ownership, which includes installation, customization, training, and support. Some software options may offer a low upfront cost but require additional purchases for essential features or charge high monthly fees. Find a balance between affordability and the value provided.
