Users can drag & drop files from their desktops and open and check-in documents from within Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint. KnowledgeTree™ goes beyond the WebDAV and CIFS interfaces provided by other vendors by allowing Windows desktop and Microsoft Office users the ability to manage metadata, versions and workflow from the Windows desktop.
"Because KnowledgeTree™ is totally focused on document management, the user interface is fast and efficient to use. Most business users will quickly feel proficient with the UI which is intuitive and looks professional. The dashboard view gives quick access to pending tasks and checked out documents. The context-sensitive Document Actions section on the left of the screen makes it clear what options are available within the current context."
Lower cost, higher value
KnowledgeTree™ costs far less to implement than expensive proprietary competitors and provides a cleaner document management implementation and stronger value-proposition than other open source document management products.
Very easy to implement and low infrastructure requirements
KnowledgeTree™ runs on the well-known and widely implemented Apache/MySQL/PHP (LAMP) stack and may be deployed using our powerful single-click installers which contain all required stack and 3rd-party software components. Many internal IT departments have experience with the Apache/MySQL/PHP stack and there are a multitude of inexpensive hosting providers that specialize in Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP hosting.
Since the KnowledgeTree™ LAMP stack is far thinner than proprietary and open source competitors, KnowledgeTree™ infrastructure requirements are far lower, further reducing your initial capital expenditure.
Very easy to customize and develop for
KnowledgeTree™, built on the Apache/MySQL/PHP (LAMP) stack, is very easy for in-house administrators and developers to customize and extend. PHP is a powerful and easy to use web development environment. In most domestic markets, PHP developers are in good supply and barriers to entry to learn PHP and MySQL skills are relatively low.
KnowledgeTree™ has a powerful plug-in architecture ensuring that additional functionality is very easy to develop and install on both new and existing deployments.
