Managing documents is a common requirement for all Life Sciences organizations. While their are fewer regulatory compliance issues in the field of Research and Development, some documents may be included in regulatory submissions. It is also increasingly common to share documents such as contracts and study designs with collaboration partners.

Documents are only one form of content and for the forward looking Life Sciences company, the topic of document management is a subset of the wider content management issue which will increasingly include a variety of content which may include genomic or proteomic data, medical images (e.g. DICOM) as a well as large volumes of unstructured information such as spreadsheets, local databases and complex data sets.
