OpenKM overview

What is OpenKM?

OpenKM is a document management solution available on-premise or on the cloud, which helps businesses manage documents by capturing, processing and securing data from various digital sources. It lets enterprises edit and share documents with team members, ensuring collaboration in the organization.

Key features of OpenKM include version control, records management, information governance, electronic signature capture, content lifecycle management, and mobile access. The solution allows businesses to import multiple types of data from emails, including text, media/document attachments, and HTML. Plus, the multi-lingual application enables the extraction of text from paper documents including grayscale, color or binary images.

OpenKM helps capture digital signatures, generate invoices in XML format, and upload documents by setting metadata values to distribute information across teams for solving problems and facilitating decision making. The dashboard allows managers to get an overview of changes made in documents and control user access to ensure compliance. Integration with various third-party applications, including MS Office, .NET, PHP, cognitive form systems, Abby Flexicapture, and more lets users manage as well as maintain official documents and automate workflows.
