[THIN] Re: OT: Document Management Solutions

Hiya Dan,

 

Archiving is the main goal. I realise Sharepoint was not a good comparison, but my knowledge on the matter is very limited and I don't know of any other comparable products to Vault.

 

Thanks to Greg & Bill for suggestions - looked at the demo's, nothing more atm.

 

anything else?

 

 

Kind Regards,

 

Jaime Watson

Jaime,

 

I don't think you can compare those products. Or even try to compare  DMS and archiving in general. MOSS is a collaboration platform that, among other things, has some DMS functionality. It is part of the Office product line and plays very together nice with Word et al. Enterprise Vault is a pure archiving solution that can, among things, archive SharePoint-based content into it's own database.

 

What are you trying to achieve, why did you come up with these two products?

 

Regards,

Dan

Greetings List,

 

Sorry for the OT - just wondering what people would recommend for an Archive/Document Management solution?

 

I'm aware of and have had a look at:-

 

Symantec Vault http://www.symantec.com/business/enterprise-vault - which has the added benefit of catering for your PST files/emails as well as flat files

 

Sharepoint  http://www.microsoft.com/sharepoint/default.mspx - which according to every course I've ever been on the instructors have advised its a nice product but certainly not the best document manager!

 

What is the lists' opinion?

 

TIA,

Jaime
