Document Management Software
jadawley | Dec 17 2006
I'm looking for a way to store my documents for easy retrieval. I tend to categorize things in terms of the customer I'm dealing or by product lines (companies we buy from). So, I have a credenza lined with binders for customers and a file cabinet filled with the same. I'm looking for an alternative system for 3 reasons: 1) It doesn't seem efficient to store all this stuff in paper form (takes up too much space). I'm looking at software such as MS OneNote. I have a good scaner that puts everything in .pdf. So I should be able to electronically store things. But I'm not going to do that unless I have a way or organizing it. Any opinions on that software or any other suggestions? John 8 Comments

 Subversion?Submitted by db on October 4, 2007 - 10:11am.
This may be a bit nerdy, but I've had good success with Subversion for storing documents. It allows me to store files in a common system without tying me to one file format. I'll throw revisions of .doc, .odt, .pdf or whatever into my repository and I've got an automatic backup, file versions, and it's easy to look through. There are a number of good Windows and Mac GUIs which make it a pretty good system to work with, even if you don't want to mess with the command line. I use it as a sort of digital equivalent to my physical filing cabinet. --db » POSTED IN:
