Document Management Paradigm

I recently found an article by one of my good friend about Document management and a easy way to handle it. I realized its not end of the road for SME's if they want to maintain their document archives. I thought its a good idea to expose some of the best tools available today which to a great extent match the requirements posed by SME's.

I still remember a project at V.V Giri National labour Institute which was I think one of the biggest attempt in India to digitize old labour documents and records . The library is now in a very good shape and found here

The key software behind it was GreenStone Digital Library , An open source suite of softwares for building and distributing digital library collections. It is open-source, multilingual software, issued under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

Greenstone runs on all versions of Windows, and Unix/Linux, and Mac OS-X. It is very easy to install. For the default Windows installation absolutely no configuration is necessary, and end users routinely install Greenstone on their personal laptops or workstations. Institutional users run it on their main web server, where it interoperates with standard web server software (e.g. Apache).
