EDMS for Libraries centralises digital collections, archival records, policies, and access controls—helping libraries preserve knowledge, improve discoverability, and maintain governance at scale.

EDMS for Libraries

Libraries manage vast collections of documents, records, and digital assets that must be preserved, indexed, and made accessible to the right audiences. As collections grow and digitisation increases, manual systems struggle to provide control, traceability, and long-term governance.

EDMSNext for Libraries provides a secure, structured document management platform designed to support modern library operations, digital archives, and institutional knowledge preservation.
