Yes. If you mean platforms for record review / document management where you need to manage historical data well and keep turnaround times (TATs) visible, there are several options—but the best fit depends on whether you mean:

  • legal/eDiscovery record review
  • healthcare / release-of-information
  • research / compliance document review
  • general enterprise document workflow

Platforms that are often strong on historical data + visible turnaround

Here are some commonly used categories/products:

1) OpenText Content Suite / Documentum

  • Strong enterprise document management
  • Good audit trails and version history
  • Can expose workflow status and aging/TAT through reporting or integrations
  • Better for large organizations with complex retention/compliance needs

2) M-Files

  • Good metadata-driven document management
  • Strong versioning and history
  • Workflow visibility is good, though TAT reporting may require configuration
  • Often easier to deploy than heavier enterprise platforms

3) Laserfiche

  • Good for document imaging, workflow, records management
  • Historical records and audit logs are solid
  • Workflow dashboards can make turnaround times visible
  • Common in public sector, healthcare, and operations-heavy environments

4) SharePoint + Power Automate / Power BI

  • Works well if your organization is already in Microsoft 365
  • Historical data retention depends on configuration and governance
  • TAT visibility can be excellent if you build dashboards
  • Usually best when you have internal support for customization

5) OnBase by Hyland

  • Strong in records management and workflow
  • Good for case/document history and auditability
  • TAT visibility can be built into workflow dashboards and reports
  • Popular in healthcare, finance, and government

6) iManage

  • Especially strong in legal document management
  • Good versioning, history, and matter-centric organization
  • TAT visibility is usually more workflow/integration dependent
  • Best for law firms and legal departments

7) Relativity

  • If you mean review of large volumes of records/documents
  • Excellent auditability and review history
  • Can track review progress and timing, but it’s more eDiscovery-oriented than general DMS
  • Good when “historical data” means chain-of-custody and review provenance

What to look for specifically

If historical tracking and turnaround visibility are important, check whether the platform supports:

  • full audit trail of actions and edits
  • version history and immutable record retention
  • workflow timestamps for every step
  • SLA/TAT dashboards
  • queue aging reports
  • exportable historical reports
  • retention policies / legal hold
  • role-based access and chain-of-custody

Practical recommendation

If you want:

  • enterprise-grade records + history: OpenText, OnBase, Laserfiche
  • lighter, more configurable workflow: M-Files, SharePoint/Power BI
  • legal review/eDiscovery: iManage, Relativity
