Here are the three main types of Document Management Systems on the market today:
Client/Server Based Document Management Systems
A client/server based document management system consists of scanned documents that have been stored on a server on your network. Authorized users can access documents using software loaded on their PC, Mobile Phone or Tablet.
Pros: Flexible, modular based, and customizable. Only buy what you need.
Cons: More expensive up front costs, IT administration required to install and maintain.

Web-Based Document Management Systems – Software as a Service (SaaS)
Accessing files securely over the web has quickly become the most popular option for document management. Authorized users can log in from any computer with an Internet connection (including web enabled mobile phones and tablets) and use a web browser to view documents. This type of system greatly reduces IT demands. Your service provider is responsible for all system issues: backups, maintenance, and system upgrades.
Pros: Little up front cost, access from anywhere, secure, and support included.
Cons: Bandwidth and less system control
