Abstract

Modern businesses require efficient document processing systems to meet regulatory requirements and support essential operations. The use of traditional email-based tracking systems causes operational delays because it restricts monitoring capabilities and creates security vulnerabilities. This research proposes an AWS-based document management solution that enables end-to-end handling of documents from creation to approval workflows. The system uses Amazon S3 for secure file storage and DynamoDB for document workflow tracking and EC2 to provide scalable computing resources and Redis to enhance system performance. The system uses role-based access control and token-based authentication together with SHA-256 hashing for cryptographic verification to protect its security. The system offers real-time monitoring alerts together with complete user activity tracking to maintain organizational transparency and accountability. Performance evaluation shows that Redis optimization improves response times by approximately 4–6 times compared to traditional systems. The proposed solution consolidates document operations into a unified platform which enables modern enterprises to achieve better regulatory compliance and stronger security measures while gaining complete operational visibility.

Conclusion

The AWS-native framework which is demonstrated establishes a complete document management system which provides customers with expandable security features and operational capabilities that meet their high-performance needs. Modern business operations benefit from cloud-based systems which enable organizations to use resources more effectively while achieving better system availability and faster operational processes. The system achieves regulatory compliance through its established governance framework which enables ongoing monitoring activities together with audit functions and restricted access to confidential information. The structured system enables better understanding of processes which leads to better responsibility distribution while ensuring data protection throughout the entire document management process. The system aims to develop advanced technological solutions through its upcoming development work which includes integrating machine learning systems for workflow management and predicting future developments. The system provides two main benefits through its functionality because it helps organizations improve decision-making workflows while boosting their overall operational performance in response to changing workplace demands.
