Prior attempts to document files failed due to volume. A consolidated in-house software is ideal for smoother audits and better teamwork. Willing to pay $20,000 for a solution.

We currently store files and do file sharing in too many locations. There are just too many softwares being used as compared to all my previous jobs, which makes it difficult to track down required documents quickly. This results in inefficiency on a daily basis.
