DocStar is well suited for any industry where large amounts of documents need to be able to be easily accessed by numerous people. You have multiple ways to note the files in order to access them in the future. You also have copies of all original signed paperwork for situations where conflicts arise over products purchased, etc.

For a smaller department, such as ours, docStar was efficient in the way we used it. When docStar went down, we were not heavily reliant on the database, which made it easier for us if we did not get the documents we wanted in a timely manner. For a bigger company and a bigger department, I would assume that docStar would create more problems. With the inaccurate search results, it would make it much more difficult to go to a folder on an individual basis, trying to find these specific documents.

I don't think this is a real good solution for companies that are needing their information in a paperless way that needs to be critiqued all the time. This is a good situation for a company that can use it for all the documentation from their ERP system or other programs and still have accountability but only having to have the document approved or disapproved or critiqued once or twice.

It is not appropriate if you have a file, such as a lease, that is constantly updated/added to with amendments, as we have not been able to find a way to automatically add the new pages to the existing document -- for instance, in a .pdf in Word, you are able to merge two documents -- we have not been able to do this in DocStar and instead have to re-scan/save the entire document when we have updates. DocStar is much more time-consuming than simply saving documents in Word to a drive, and we have not found any real benefits to DocStar.
