In an era where data is king and workflow efficiency is pivotal, the right document management system (DMS) can be a game-changer for any business. We surveyed 100 professional service firms in accounting, law, engineering and property, from the United States to Australia. Our results highlighted the clear top five features in a DMS. Let’s delve into why these features are crucial and how our document-led digital workspace delivers on these expectations.
- Security: The foundation of trust
In our survey, security emerged as the primary non-negotiable feature. With complicated cyber threats becoming increasingly more common, protecting your sensitive data is paramount. We understand this, offering robust security measures including encryption, secure data centers, and regular, comprehensive backups within your own Microsoft environment. Our unwavering commitment to security builds a foundation of trust – an essential component in today’s business landscape.
- Viewing of documents: Accessibility meets functionality
Ease of access and readability of documents are essential for efficient workflow. Our digital workspace offers a streamlined interface where viewing various document formats – from PDFs to Word documents and image files – is seamless and intuitive. Whether you’re working on a detailed report or a creative mockup, SuiteFiles ensures a smooth, integrated viewing experience across devices, enabling you to focus on the content without compatibility concerns.
- Sharing internally and externally: Collaborate without boundaries
Sharing documents, both within your team and with external stakeholders, should be straightforward and secure. SuiteFiles facilitates easy sharing, ensuring control and traceability. Share links with specific access permissions, track who viewed your document and when, and collaborate confidently knowing that our enterprise-grade security keeps your shared data secure. Imagine effortlessly working on a proposal with your team and sharing it instantly with a client for feedback – all within a secure environment.
- Simple/Easy navigation: Intuitive interface for all users
Navigating a DMS shouldn’t require extensive training. Our carefully crafted UX design ensures users of all technical abilities can find what they need quickly and easily. With a user-friendly interface and logical organization, SuiteFiles makes document management accessible, reducing the learning curve and allowing your team to work more efficiently. Feedback from users highlights how the straightforward design of SuiteFiles facilitates a smoother transition from traditional systems, enhancing overall productivity.

Time spent searching for documents is time lost. Our powerful search functionality means finding the right document is just a few keystrokes away.
