I have a client who is looking for a good document management system. Basically, she has a series of employees scattered around the country. They all need to update the same files, based on what project they are on. Excel files, btw. They have something called “badblue” which is flaky and buggy and not working for them.
It seems that document management systems are the way to go. They check in, check out, do revisions, backups, etc.
But I don’t know any good ones…. they either are old open source with no real support, or run only in java, and cost like 1000 dollars a user—well beyond my clients budget. The client is concerned with security, of course, so while I could host it on my server or one I control (like Enginehosting), something like basecamp is probably not what they’d want.
Suggestions? Something like webdav, perhaps? And any good mac clients for this kind of stuff? I’m still on panther, which means I only have java 1.4—and most of the current programs want java 1.5 it appears.
Thanks for some advice!
