As in every other area, computers and software have also impacted document management practices.
Instead of paper documents, you store information in a digital form in computer files.
Instead of unwieldy paperboard folders, you have digital folders on the computer disk in which the digital files can be stored.
Instead of heavy filing cabinets occupying valuable floor space, you have compact computer disks the size of a book or less on which incomparably greater numbers of digital folders can be stored.
Instead of locking up sensitive documents in safes, you could just restrict access to sensitive digital data by means of passwords.
