Document management software free trial in India
Load a real sample into the trial: a month's purchase invoices, a set of contracts and some HR files. Define metadata fields, test OCR search, set permissions so one department cannot see another's files, and run an approval workflow. Then export a folder with its metadata to check that you could move out cleanly. Also ask one clerk who will use it daily to file a week's paperwork unaided.
