Hello,

How many documents do you have? 10,000? 100,000? About how many letter
size pages of data is it? Mostly text or text+images? And how many hours do
you think it would take to scan all the documents you currently have?

Are you wanting to put these on a server so multiple people can use them?

Depending on the scale, OneNote may or may not work. From a hierarchical
viewpoint, ON follows the binder analogy pretty well - notebooks + sections +
pages. Since the scanned documents can be searched, you get a big win there.
Since they are treated as images, storage requirements might become pretty
large. And if you want 100,000 pages, ON probably would be a poor choice of
document management.

Just questions to think about.
