FAQ’s

  1. I am worried that trying to implement Docsvault will be difficult to do. My existing manual filing system is tedious but familiar. How hard is it to setup and use Docsvault?

    It is incredibly easy to setup and even easier to use. Plus you get so many other advantages that manual filing systems cannot offer, such as document profiling (indexing), efficient organization and management, security, simultaneous access, audit trails, version control, workflow, scanning support and many others. Apart from this retrieving your documents and information becomes instant – that alone merits use of a good DMS. You can simulate your entire manual filing system through Docsvault. Installing Docsvault is just a matter of minutes. And if you are familiar with Windows® Explorer, you will be immediately familiar with Docsvault.

  2. You seem to have a lot of features. Do you think it’s easy enough for a normal user to learn and use all these advanced features?

    Yes. We take pride in the fact that our software is incredibly simple and easy to use. That was our goal right from the start. We have thoughtfully designed and implemented each feature so that it remains comprehensive yet simple enough for any user. If you know basic operations in Windows like drag and drop, copy and paste, and saving files in a folder structure, you are already familiar with most of the software. All of the other features are available from a simple right click on the files. And our comprehensive Online Help, Quick Start Guides, and very responsive technical support will be there for you in case you have any questions.
