Which of the following is NOT an electronic document management system component?

• A. Workflow engine
• B. Scanning module
• C. Reader-printer
• D. Version control

Answer: (C)

Understanding what belongs in an electronic document management system: these systems are built to capture, organize, route, and manage versions of digital documents. The workflow engine drives automatic routing, approvals, and lifecycle tasks. The scanning module converts paper documents into digital files that the system can store and index. Version control tracks changes and maintains the history of documents as they evolve. A reader-printer, on the other hand, is hardware used to print or read physical copies and does not participate in the digital capture, routing, indexing, or versioning that defines an EDMS. So it isn’t considered a standard EDMS component.
