OpenDocMan was designed to be used for a variety of situations and solve many problems. Besides the common features of document management that OpenDocMan handles, here is a list of some other things you could do with OpenDocMan:
- Store your company training documents so that employees always know where to find the latest copies.
- Eliminate the emailing headaches of large documents
- Print Houses: Use opendocman to let your customers “approve” your proofs
- Store all the technical manuals for equipment used at your company
- Engineering: Store your CAD files
- Store your media files (audio, video, pictures)
- Not-for-profits can use OpenDocMan to store their meeting minutes, and their internal documents so that all members could have access to them.

I tried many other ope sources DMS, and at the end I decided OpenDocman was the right for me, easy to install, easy to use. I am a very light user, but I am very satisfied with my choice.
Thank you!!!!

Currently I am using OpenDocman for my own, internal needs at my personal web site.
Good Day
I am looking to acquire a solution that will allow me to scan customer documentation such as credit application forms, customer personal documents etc.
I am offering a retail credit solution and looking to electronically capture documents so that all information is available on a PC based infrastructure.
Please advice the recommended hardware and software required.
Best regards

I have some doubts.
I need a hosted DMS to hold our ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 quality management systems.
So I need sort of restriction access (configurable) for some docs (usually .pdf and .doc).
I also need to ensure permission for editing documents and also aproval permission for each document or group of documents; this is, certain user can edit the doc and another user aproves it finally and frees it to be used or accesed by the rest of the team. Or some type of read/write acces for every user in my team.
I need some changes tracing (version history and the author of last edition).
I also need that a document has some sort of mark so we can know their editing is in progress (this is, a beta document not approved yet).
Can we get this with OpenDocMan?. Thankyou.
Sanjay, did you find a solution that would allow you to scan? I am looking for something similar.
thanks

I’m very interested in this but I’m a bit concerned about the backup and recovery requirements, as normally with a files and folders system replication is sufficient but here its nessecery to backup and restore both the file store and database in order to recover a system
I am the boss of a computer tech company and we can if needed build software, however I chose this solution for sharing company files for my offices that are located in different cities and countries because it looked good from my internet research.
After installing it to my servers I was so impressed with the script that I have decided that I am going to have my team build some templates for it and offer them to the ODM community for free use.
@Oliver: I didn’t see anything directly in the script for backups however if your server is setup properly then you should have server side cron jobs running for the making of regular server backups.
Wiki “cron Job” if you need more info about this.
Anyways…..Great work people, ODM is a fantastic solution that damned near any office member can use without the needing of reading a manual.
That’s what makes ODM great !
Can OpenDocMan be used to serve technical papers in pdf format in a way that makes the metadata associated with each file searchable/discoverable by a web based search engine? The objective is to provide read-only access to many pdf’s to anyone searching for related key words, a basic internet searchable repository function.
@Lindsay, An “anonymous” mode is in the works, which sounds like what you would need.
