No Changing of Business Rules Required
Unlike most DMS’s that require you to change your business
rules in order to manage your documents, OpenDocMan allows
you to integrate your current rules. Through supporting
multiple file types, to departmental review, OpenDocMan
lets you concentrate on the business at hand, document management.
Free document management software is good to find.
OpenDocMan was developed under the open source GPL license,
which in a nutshell allows you to use the program for free
and modify it any way you wish. We also encourage feedback
from our users when they encounter issues, or have suggestions.

process.
Robust User Management
IT staff and managers can delegate document management duties
to any number of staff members, through user and group permissions.
Permissions can be set as restrictively or permissively
as needed.
Document Management Software Basics
Document management software and document management in
general is based around a concept of centralized document
storage, limited access, and change tracking. These three
DMS software fundamentals make up much of ISO 17025 in regards
to document management systems.
Centralized Document Storage:
Any decent document management system ( DMS ), whether
it is open source or commercial, will allow documents to
be stored in some sort of centralized location. This makes
finding documents in the DMS much easier, as there is only
one place to look.
Limited Access:
Having a centralized location to store files is not enough
to call your product a document management system. A simple
folder on your computer can allow files to be stored, but
limiting access to specific individuals becomes more of
a problem. A good DMS will allow fine-grained access to
each and every file.
Tracking Changes:
Limiting access to the DMS files is a good step in the
right direction but does no good if the files can be changed,
added, removed without tracking of those actions. A good
document management software system will add on change tracking
for the files so that changes can be noted, and reversed
if need be.
