DocALMA is a data and document management system designed for the requirements of the technical domain and particularly of the industrial sector. It streamlines the organisation’s operation, as DocALMA shortens the time required for data retrieval and accelerates the decision-making process.

Data management means a company’s way of collecting, organising, and utilising data in the course of decision-making and enhancing productivity. For successful data management, a company requires a data management strategy and a modern data management system.

Document management, i.e., the data collection, storage, editing and sharing related to the organisation’s electronic documentation is also an integral part of a successful data management solution.

DocALMA is an efficient data management system capable of coping even with huge amounts of data and expandable for comprehensive asset life cycle management.

With DocALMA, the data and document management of your company can be integrated into a broader enterprise resource planning system. The ALMA ERP system consists of separate modules that can be used to create the complete solution best suitable for your company. DocALMA is a component module of this complete solution. If necessary, you can also commission the modules in stages.
