Knowledge\Document Management Best answer on the web

Filed under: xn--4pva.com edit
  • We'd like analysis of KnowledgeDocument management (e.g. KnowledgeBase, OnBase, Hummingbird, Cabinet NG)products. Quite a number are listed under the category Electronic Document Management Systems/Content Mgt Solutions at http://accesskm.com/Resources/vendors.htm. We are looking to image existing paper documents and index electronic data (e.g. MSword, MSexcel files). Batch indexing of scanned documents would be an important feature. We have a preference for leaving our data where it is and indexing it there, rather than having it incorporated into a database. We have about 120 employees and would like to give them all access to the system. Please include a brief overview of the sorts of features that are common to the genre. Then list a wide variety of products describing what makes them stand out and what they lack. Please try to include pricing for a 120 user implementation.


  • Hello selfhelp-ga,

    Thank you for your question. After researching this topic for over 2 days, I believe I have the answer you need. I have reviewed the following 10 software products for Electronic Document Management Systems :
    KnowledgeBase
    Hyland Software (OnBase)
    Hummingbird
    CabinetNG
    FileNET (Panagon)
    Gauss Interprise (Enterprise VIP)
    iManage (WorkSite)
    Legato Systems (ApplicationXtender)
    Liberty IMS
    Docuvantage

    Originally, this list was bigger, but some items were dropped due to various reasons (ie. ERP or Content Management focus as opposed to Document Management focus, etc).
    From my analysis, it appears that the features that are common to EDMS software can be categorized into 4 major areas :
    Input/Import/Imaging (how the documents get into the system)
    Article/Document management (how users actually interact with the documents) Workflow/Multi-user (how users interact with each other with regard to the documents) Reporting (how information can be derived from the documents)

    I have structured my analysis accordingly. Using the list you provided from http://accesskm.com/Resources/vendors.htm , and from browsing search results on this topic, is how I came up with that list of 10 products above. Based on your needs (batch imaging/indexing, multi-user environment), I have narrowed down the list further to 3 items, as follows :
    ==== 1 ====

    Legato Systems (previously OTG)
    http://www.legato.com

    Why : Excellent support for batch imaging/indexing, and very comprehensive features in all 4 areas. Very well-organized integrated modular system, and very well presented online.
    ==== 2 ====

    Gauss Interprise
    http://www.magellan.com/

    Why : Integrates with Kofax Ascent (http://www.kofax.com) for document capture (imaging/indexing), an excellent application. Very well balanced in all 4 areas, strong Workflow/Sharing features.
    ==== 3 ====

    FileNET
    http://www.filenet.com/

    Why : High transaction, high-speed input, data mining reports. Decent coverage in all 4 areas.

    Here is the analysis :

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    In response to the first part of your question, "Please include a brief overview of the sorts of features that are common to the genre", the following excerpt from Docuvantage gives an excellent description of Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS) :
    EDMS; an Electronic Document Management System, Document Imaging and Workflow management http://www.docuvantage.com/content/interior.asp?section=edms&body=main


    What is EDMS?

    It's all about documents...
    You work them all the time, every day. You create a document whenever you use your word processing program, or spreadsheet software. Your company may generate memos, reports, procedures, manuals, and documentation. All human-readable media ultimately is involved with presenting documents for human consumption - and this applies not only to static print media such as paper or microfilm - it applies equally to all forms of digital media such as electronic documents and web pages.
    Files, documents, drawings, and forms are an integral and important aspect of any organization. Nevertheless, managing these same ingredients can become an overwhelming, daunting task. This crucial data can be misfiled, misplaced, or even lost. Moreover, all of the information needed for a critical decision may not be located in one convenient place. It wastes valuable manpower, physical resources, and time serving your clientele efficiently.
    Document Management is primarily concerned with the organization, processing, and safeguarding of large internal (meaning not public and not on the web) document sets. The skills required for this task involve database design, business process analysis, and archival methodologies.
    An Electronic Document Management System allows the user the ability to scan, index, manage, store and retrieve millions of documents or files. You can easily find the information you need within seconds.
    Organizations can harness information in new ways to realize new efficiencies, reduce costs, streamline operations, meet regulatory demands, close new business, and exceed customer expectations in competitive markets.
    Electronic Document Management is the management of your organization's critical information stored in an electronic format through information capture, document imaging, and document management.
    Information capture includes receiving, processing, and managing electronic information in native file formats. Document imaging includes scanning, indexing, storing viewing, and annotations. Electronic document management includes check-in/check-out, version control, and document handling. The combination of these functions provides a complete solution for an organization's information management needs.
    EDM-workflow facilitates increased productivity. You can watch as documents flow from one workstation to the next. Based on your observations, you can determine how to eliminate unnecessary processes, enhance quality control, improve customer satisfaction and speed delivery of products and services.
    With secure web browser-based access you can enhance any intranet or website by providing access to your information. Whether you wish to publish document-based content to your website, or empower remote users your organization will have the competitive advantage.
    Text search enables you to search your text-based documents based on content. Desktop word processing documents, scanned documents that have been converted to text using OCR, and other text-based files can all be quickly searched into a ranked list. Select either the pure text file or the original source document for viewing.

    I hope this helps bring you closer to a decision on which EDMS to use. It is indeed a difficult choice with so many options out there. I believe that the best selections for your requirements are Legato Systems' ApplicationXtender, Gauss Interprise and FileNET. Unfortunately I was unable to provide pricing information, and I believe it would be to your advantage to interact with the respective vendors so that they can give you pricing specific to your particular situation (you may be in a better position to negotiate on pricing).
    If you need further clarification, please do not hesitate to post a Request For Clarification. Thank you for using Google Answers!

  • Be sure to cehck out DocuMatrix http://www.nmatrix.com/documatrix.html


  • Xerox has what is probably the most advanced technology.
    Be sure to look at their DocuShare line.
    The system I have the most experience with is OpenText,
    it may also suit you.
    Broadvision has some impressive stuff,
    but I'm not sure it would suit you as well.


  • iManage have recently laid off 10% of their workforce, be careful.
