Documents are everywhere \u2014 not even the smallest of companies can avoid them. Every invoice, contract, insurance application, operational manual \u2014 the list goes on and on \u2014 must be stored and retrieved at some point. Overseeing all this can take a massive amount of effort and money.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern cloud vendors offer nearly infinite storage at a low cost. However, storing documents is the easy part. More challenging is ensuring they are organized, searchable, and secure for compliance and legal purposes. This is a job for a document management system (DMS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

y<\/a>uuvis\u00ae Momentum<\/a> provides a solid foundation to develop and grow a custom DMS for your enterprise. In this article, we\u2019ll look into the challenge of managing insurance documents and how easy it is to build a custom, fully-featured DMS using yuuvis\u00ae Momentum and some JSON.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Situation: Document Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most organizations have built up documents over the years using various applications and formats. Having to deal with many content types, and searching for these documents, is time-consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It gets more complicated when dealing with large data sets and corporate environments with legal requirements around retention, audit, versioning, and security. When you are legally required to keep documents for three years, five years, seven years, or even permanently, they really pile up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things become even more inefficient because users must search and retrieve much of this content, and all those \u201cone-time\u201d requests for a document created years ago add up. Plus, you must ensure only the right people access sensitive documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security and data loss is another big issue requiring planning. Lost or leaked documents can trigger financial and reputation disaster, especially for insurance companies, so they need a solution that provides security, auditability, and redundancy, keeping documents safe yet still available when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your management system may need to integrate with third-party services, custom microservices, or an existing front end, further complicating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How would you even go about handling all this? Let\u2019s look at two approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solving Document Management the Hard Way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s see what it takes to design, from the ground up, a custom insurance company DMS. The requirements are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
