A document management system enables an organization to store all of its documents in one system. A wide range of electronic files (e.g., a word processing document, a spreadsheet, a PDF document, a scanned image, and an audio recording) can be stored. A version control functionality may be available where employees who store the same document can be distinguished with a unique version number. Employees can access the system to search and retrieve existing documents and add new documents. The document management system comprises a computer server, a database system, and a software program, all of which may operate in a remote location accessible via the Internet.

Knowledge Sharing Analytics: The Case of IT Workers
Published in Journal of Computer Information Systems, 2019
As already mentioned, the IT domain requires open communication among IT workers, individuals, and work teams, in order to share knowledge and create fresh innovative knowledge tacitly and explicitly. To this end, IT work teams use a variety of tools such as email—for basic communication, Document Management Systems (DMS)—to store, share, and produce documents and files, Enterprise Content Management (ECM) portals—to share knowledge and documents, source control software—to enable working on a common source code, WIKI software—to elicit knowledge by the “crowd wisdom” approach, enterprise social networks—to manage the social capital and create communities of practice, digital forums\blogs\VOD libraries—where experts can share their experience, and, of course, collaboration software.23–26 Each of these platforms produces usage analytics that shed light on different habits of use, and can therefore be used as metrics for KSL.
Efficiency and effectiveness of knowledge management systems in SMEs

For example, enterprise A25 is located in the area with inefficient and ineffective KM-Tools (TOY = 0.26, TOS = 0.51), so to shift towards the area of efficiency and effectiveness it would be necessary to introduce and, at the same time, exclude certain KM-Tools. More specifically, the enterprise may consider adopting the Business Process Management System, a KM-Tool aligned with the nature of its knowledge rather than Peer-to-Peer Resource Sharing, Audio and Video Conference, Document Management System and Content Management System, which do not cover the enterprise’s knowledge (TOY = 0.55, TOS = 0.78).
