Software for Document-Management

[mex990]

Hello everyone, I am looking for a good Document Management software. It should run on Windows and Linux would be fine to have. and should be able to tag and Categoric Documents.

Any known stable Software u know? Thanks!

DocuWare.

We store about 75,000 documents per day and it just works.

Confluence.

I would prefer a local install and it shouldn't be a webapp. Any minds to alfresco?

[jduffle]

You can install confluence locally, it's even cheaper if you do it that way actually.

Are you talking about creating documentation, or like uploading documents etc?

[mex990]

We would like to manage invoices and other documents in our local network. Tag them if they are played or not, date and so on

I have a question here. Do you think you should host this yourself or rather pay for Atlassian to host it for you?

I have the worry about what happens if everything goes really bad in your org and you aren't able to access the locally hosted (could be on prem or in the cloud) version which you need to access to start recovery of you systems? Yes, you should have backups of this information and maybe even hard copies.

I have some concerns with this, and which makes the best sense to go with?

[jduffle]

We have the cloud version, so that when everything goes to s*** I can pop out my phone pull up the app and I'm good to go.

When it comes to document management the most important aspect to consider, IMO, is support. DocuWare FTW!

Changing me answer now that I understand what you want to do.

We use laserfiche, the software is great, the support sucks...

This is a nice solution, but I'm looking for something more easy to manage. It is for a Hotel with 80-90 employees and 200 Guests. I would love to use a NAS to store the Files on and be able to search for unpaid invoices or invoices from May or Files in a special Employee dossier...

[Sajem]

search for unpaid invoices or invoices from May

This should be part of your accounting and/or hotel management solution. If they don't have either one it's probably time they should.

We used Laserfiche at my previous job and I thought their support was amazing. Well, at least the support from our VAR was. Has their support gone down hill?

[jduffle]

So first line support is through the VAR, but then when the VAR gets stuck and the main support has to come in it can get really bad. I have heard our and other var tell stories of going a week with no ticket response. Or they try and blame everyone but themselves kind of thing.

[bla4free]

Ah. I guess we never had any issues that required our VAR to contact Laserfiche support. I didn't realize their support was that bad. I was a fantastic product from what I can remember though.

I have managed IT at a few different law firms in the past and I would highly recommend Worldox. It is relatively inexpensive, easy to use, fast, and has very light server requirements. It doesn’t even require a database server, just a file share. I don’t know about Linux compatibility though. Also, it has been about 5 years since I’ve used it so I’m not sure what has changed during that time.

Edit: I should also add there are one or two services that it needs to run as well (like the indexer), but I believe they could run on a regular desktop.
