Free Software Linux

It has been awhile since I've considered using KnowledgeTree on the office intranet. I eventually decided that I needed to focus more on our content management system (we are now using Drupal) and consider implementing a document management system (DMS) at a later date. A recent Linux.com article on KnowledgeTree reminded me about the DMS that I almost forgot about.

These days,
effective document management means accessibility from anywhere on the
planet, electronic storage, reliable backup, and instant document
modification updates. KnowledgeTree offers all that and more. It's available in several editions, including an open source community version (which we reviewed last year) that businesses can tailor to their individual needs.

You
can install KnowledgeTree in-house on your company's server or use it
as an online, hosted service. With it, you can create, edit, and store
documents from Linux, Mac, and Windows computer. KnowledgeTreeLive, the
hosted version, can be accessed from any computer with an Internet
connection and a supported browser -- Firefox, Safari, or Internet
Explorer.

I always promised myself that I would take a second look at KnowledgeTree sometime down the road. Unfortunately, at least for for KnowledgeTree, the regional office I'm under has started a move toward Microsoft's SharePoint. As I've written in the past, SharePoint is confusing system to describe and even Microsoft has a tough time explaining their product to potential customers. I initially thought SharePoint would be more of a CMS, Portal, and wiki but each time I've looked at SharePoint I'm realizing that it's greater strength may be in document management.
