Summary: On-line (or off-line) document management software

[bardsley at u.washington.edu]

Last week I posted to get information about document management software. I am now summarizing. First, thanks go to: Karen Coyle, Amy M. Ostrom, and D.H. Mattison.

Summary:
I was convinced that CVS is a bit unwieldy to implement and use. It was pointed out that Wiki type tools can and are used for text based document management. However, I am looking for a solution to manage other types of documents as well (i.e. PDF, MS Word, Excel, graphics, etc.). I was directed to: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kt-dms/ where I found an ideal free application called KnowledgeTree. The on-line demo was a bit slow but most of the traffic it would see for my situation would be intra-net and therefore much faster. I hope to test the document management application further to see if it can work well within my organization. Does anyone have real-world experience with it?

Thanks,

Mark Bardsley
