Why DMS Support Matters

Without reliable support, even the most advanced DMS becomes only a temporary solution. In practice, we often see how the lack of ongoing system maintenance can lead to downtime, data loss, or process slowdowns. A small infrastructure change, an outdated plugin, or a system version upgrade can easily bring the entire document workflow to a halt. Internal IT teams often lack the capacity or deep expertise in specific DMS technologies to resolve such issues quickly.

According to Gartner, up to 50% of digital projects fail due to underestimated maintenance and support needs. And AIIM research shows that 6 out of 10 companies face recurring technical issues because their DMS lacks regular maintenance or optimization.

At Aricoma, we believe that professional support is not just a technical safeguard, it’s a way to unlock the full potential of your DMS.

What Challenges Do Companies Face When Operating DMS Systems

Implementing a DMS is only the starting line. It’s in everyday operations where you truly see whether the system can handle real-world situations and deliver the expected value.

Common Technical Issues That Slow Users Down

Users often face slow document loading, malfunctioning workflows, error messages, or permission issues. Each of these disruptions slows down work and increases frustration across the team. Without a quick technical response, even a small issue can escalate into a major problem.

A system that doesn’t grow with you eventually becomes an obstacle

Companies evolve processes, teams, and regulations change. Yet many DMS solutions remain frozen in the state they were originally deployed. Without ongoing optimization, form updates, workflow adjustments, or integration with new tools, the system gradually loses relevance and employees start bypassing it. The result is disorganized documentation and a loss of control over company knowledge.

Security Risks Are Not a Matter of “If,” but “When”

Outdated systems or unpatched plugins pose serious cybersecurity threats. Missing access audits, poorly configured roles, or unencrypted documents can lead to data breaches or violations of regulations such as GDPR. With the growing number of attacks targeting corporate systems, proactive security is a necessity — not an option.

Every Outage Has a Direct Impact on Business

A halted approval process, inaccessible contracts, or the inability to respond to client requests on time — these are real consequences of a malfunctioning DMS. Downtime can lead not only to lost time but also to missed business opportunities and a loss of partner trust.

What Should Comprehensive DMS Support Include

High-quality DMS support isn’t just about “picking up the phone when something breaks.” It’s a combination of technical maintenance, user comfort, and continuous system development. That’s what differentiates standard service from truly professional support.

Reactive Support: When Something Goes Wrong, We’re Ready

Every system can encounter issues — what matters is how quickly and effectively they’re resolved. We ensure a standardized incident reporting process, fast response times according to SLAs, and direct access to technical experts who know your DMS inside and out.

Proactive Maintenance: Solving Problems Before You Notice Them

Our team performs regular checks of key functionalities, monitors system performance, and identifies potential risks before they become issues. With a proactive approach, we help prevent outages, data loss, and system slowdowns.

Consulting Services: A DMS That Adapts to You

From time to time, workflows need adjustment — adding an approval step, modifying a process, or integrating with another application. Our consultants help optimize your workflows so that the system continues to reflect your business’s real-world needs.

User Training and Support

Even the best system is ineffective if people don’t know how to use it properly. We provide training for new users, refresher courses, and sessions for internal supervisors. We also supply user guides, documentation, and a dedicated support team ready to handle everyday inquiries.

Technical Updates and Upgrades

DMS platforms such as Microsoft SharePoint, OpenText, or Newgen regularly release new versions, patches, and security updates. We assist with their deployment, testing, and configuration to ensure smooth operation and constant access to your data.

We’ll take care of your DMS so you can focus on your business.

What Matters Most in DMS Support?

Keeping your document management system in top condition isn’t just a technical matter — it’s about systematic work by a team that understands the technology, grasps business context, and thinks several steps ahead. 

Behind every project, it’s important to see the people.

The success of any project often depends on a dedicated team of experts with deep knowledge of the technologies involved. Customer relationships shouldn’t be anonymous — it’s essential to see the people behind the project, not just the items in a system. A stable team of support specialists familiar with the technology, solution architecture, and internal processes can respond quickly while continuously proposing improvements that fit real-world operations. Direct communication with someone who knows your solution in detail is always more effective than generic advice.

Proactive Monitoring and Problem Prevention

The best incident is the one that never happens. A modern approach includes deploying advanced tools to monitor operational metrics, service health, database performance, and user behavior. When anomalies are detected, action is taken before the issue becomes visible. This proactive strategy significantly reduces downtime and ensures higher system availability.

Regular System Performance Reports and Analytics

Transparency is a key foundation of trust. Regular monthly or quarterly reports can provide insights into resolved requests, system performance, security status, and recommendations for further development. This information supports effective system management, future planning, and informed decision-making across both IT and business leadership.

Support for Key DMS Technologies

Each platform has its own specifics and requires a tailored support approach. At Aricoma, we have long specialized in the most widely used and high-performance DMS technologies. This allows us to offer not only technical reliability but also real added value through optimization, integrations, and expert consulting.

Microsoft SharePoint

SharePoint is a flexible platform, but its versatility often makes it operationally demanding. We provide regular maintenance, access management, workflow configuration, and performance optimization to ensure fast and secure operation. We can also assist with migration to SharePoint Online or a hybrid environment within Microsoft 365.

OpenText

OpenText requires deep product expertise — from proper configuration to specialized extensions. Our team includes certified specialists with in-depth knowledge of the platform’s architecture. We provide support for ERP integrations, document lifecycle management, and the configuration of advanced permissions and audit trails.

Newgen


Newgen is a powerful tool for automation and the management of complex processes. We assist with the design and optimization of tailored solutions, provide user training, and ensure the smooth operation of the entire platform — including version support, custom development, and data analytics.
