Box

DocuWare
Document management and workflow automation software. DocuWare digitizes and secures your information to flow effortlessly between your decision makers — anywhere, any device, any time.

Box and DocuWare are two peculiar yet oddly indispensable creatures in the vast savannah of document management systems. Box, for instance, is rather like the well-mannered but highly energetic cousin who insists on doing all the heavy lifting when it comes to securely sharing, collaborating and storing files. It lives entirely in the cloud, which seems sensible because, in the cloud, one doesn’t have to worry about misplaced staplers or accidentally spilled coffee. Box enjoys integrating with your productivity tools, making it ever so easy for you to pretend that you’re highly organized while everything just floats serenely along.

DocuWare, however, is the meticulous, slightly obsessive archivist of the duo—constantly scribbling notes in the margins and ensuring every document is precisely where it ought to be. It’s not just a document manager; it’s a document commander, processing, indexing and retrieving with the efficiency of a highly caffeinated librarian. It thrives in structured environments where automation hums along quietly in the background, guiding workflows with the grace of a ballroom dance instructor who never once lets you step on your own feet.

In short, Box is what you’d get if cloud storage attended a zen retreat and came back full of good intentions, while DocuWare is what happens when someone decides to weaponize organization in the service of ruthless efficiency. Choose wisely, for both are powerful and both, if given free rein, will change your life—whether you’re prepared or not.
