 Acronym of the Day
  
brought to you by 
    
 EDM 
  
Enterprise document management (EDM) is a strategy for overseeing an organization's paper and electronic documents so they can be easily retrieved in the event of a compliance audit or subpoena. An enterprise document management software application can be used to create a single view of all an enterprise's documents and provide workflow tools to monitor and control modifications and make document retrieval easier.
