OpenKM is a open source document management system. Can be used by home users, corporations, government institutions and medium to small business. Its architecture allows you to manage your documents better, providing a more flexible, cost-effective alternative.
License
OpenKM is licensed by GNU General Public License (Version 2).
Usage
This is a web-based document management application, so you only need a web browser to use it. Currently only Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari are supported. This web interface is built using Google Web Toolkit so if this toolkit support a new browser we do it also.
Architecture
OpenKM is developed using Java technology based on J2EE standards and the JBoss application server. Therefore the OpenKM can be installed and executed in various platforms (Linux, Windows, etc.)
The OpenKM architecture is based on the following technologies:
- JBoss Application Server.
- Java J2EE ( JDK 1.5 or upper ).
- Apache Jackrabbit.
- GWT ( Google Web Toolkit - Ajax ).
- Lucene.
Due to its architecture, OpenKM can work on any operating system Unix, Linux, Windows. Though it is recommended using Linux due to its ROI, as well as the great stability of the operating system. This is a lightweight application, so you only need a typical computer to get it running. You don't have to buy an expensive server.
As far as the data storage is concerned, it can be kept in a directory or in any RDBMS (Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc..).
Due to the choice of this technology the hardware requirements for the companies will be considerably reduced, in relation to the proprietary applications, as well as the hardware costs necessaries for setting it up.
