NetDocuments is Ken Duncan's second document management company [5] after having founded SoftSolutions in the late 1980s. SoftSolutions was sold to WordPerfect in 1994.

Its secondary data center resides at Zions Bancorporation.

In January 2015, the company announced its acquisition of Recommind’s Decisiv search and enterprise email management system. The product was renamed to NetDocuments EM. [17]
