DocuWare have been awarded the “Workflow/BPM Product of the Year” at the UK Document Manager Magazine and Awards event as well as being named “Best ECM/Document Management Software” by The Cannata Report. But what is the history of DocuWare?

With this in mind, we decided to share a bit about the organisation we’ve partnered with for over 25 years.  Let’s take a look at DocuWare in detail in terms of its people and history.

The History of DocuWare

The history of DocuWare starts back in the early 1990s.  Founded in Germany and now used in almost every country in the world, DocuWare is widely recognised as a market leader for both on-premise and cloud-based document management software.

Like most organisations, it took two people spotting an opportunity within an existing business.  They set up DocuWare at a time when the concept of document management software was barely known. They brought the best people on board to help them achieve the technical and sales growth we see today. All of their product development is done in-house. 

Who Are DocuWare? And What Is DocuWare Used For?

“DocuWare provide document management and workflow software to businesses across the globe.  Automating manual tasks, reducing dependence on paper files and delivering secure access to information and files anytime from anywhere are just a few of the benefits”.

The history of DocuWare, like many software solutions started with exclusively on-premise implementations. Today, DocuWare still caters for on-premise preference but also provides cloud document management solutions and workflow automation software. The goal of the software hasn't changed - it enables clients to digitally store, track and manage  business documents to optimize all document based processes.
