Gartner Magic Quadrant for Document Management 2026
DocuWare, a Ricoh Company, has been recognised as a Challenger in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Document Management.
Gartner defines document management as the tools and practices used to capture, store, process and deliver documents and information in support of personal, team and enterprise needs. We believe DocuWare’s recognition in the report reflects its continued focus on helping organisations manage information more effectively and improve document-centric processes.
For organisations evaluating document management platforms, the report provides an independent perspective on the market and its recognised vendors.
Why document management matters?
Business information often sits across emails, shared drives, paper records and disconnected systems. This can make documents difficult to find, slow down approvals and introduce avoidable manual work.
A document management platform can help organisations:
- Organise and access information more consistently
- Automate document review and approval workflows
- Reduce repetitive document handling
- Connect information with wider business processes
Go beyond document storage with process automation
Effective document management is not only about storing information. It is also about helping people find what they need, route documents to the right teams and move work forward more consistently.
As part of Ricoh’s Process Automation portfolio, DocuWare helps organisations connect documents, people and processes through digital workflows. Ricoh can help you identify where document-centric processes could be simplified, automated or better integrated with wider ways of working.
