Good Day to the list, Here at $WORK an old project was resurrected and dropped in my lap. The Execs are looking for a Data Warehouse solution where they can store documents for retrieval, provide access control and possibly live updating. As a part of this system they are also looking for a Dashboard for certain functions.
The Project leader understands that there isn't one product that is the end all and figures this project will be resolved by using a few different applications. So the goal of this email is to ask folks what product they are using in their work environment (University, School District, Enterprise, Work Group) as their document management system that has access controls. Even if you rolled your own using Oracle, MySQL or some other database coupled with a Web front end and some type of access control. I have looked at two products so far Knowledge Tree (which has since become a sales product) and eFileCabinet (efilecabinet.com) The latter is a cloud based solution with a monthly charge per user. That isn't out of the question even an Open Open Source product that we would roll our own and house ourselves. In my searches on Google SharePoint (I think that is the Microsoft Product) never popped up. Google Docs is out of the question and even just supplying a share across the VPN is out as well as the access is not robust enough and then you have the indexing and contents as well as naming of documents with descriptions. People can reply directly to me or to the list. I will post some type of summary in a few weeks to the list in case someone wants to use it for themselves later on. Thanks in advance. -- John J. Boris, Sr.
