What alternative DMS are there? What features do they offer?

What's about sharepoint? Is it worth mentioning?

+2  A: 

Check Open Source document management systems for a starter. Btw I'm not sure your question is anyhow programming related.

You are right, the question is very abstract. I'm searching for DMS which are easy extensible by individual software.

SharePoint is absolutly an option! I have work with both systems and SharePoint has some advantages due its high Office Integration (automatic checkout / version control / document meta data). For more information google windows sharepoint services / microsoft office sharepoint sever.

Often its an infrastructur question do you have a windows enviroment?

If you do some evaluation i think SharePoint should be in the race.

LiveLink is an other big player in ECM.

Yeah, I'm doing an evaluation. I'll have a look at sharepoint.

IBM DB2 Content Management System - of course it's not open source and it's damn expensive :)

and I think Alfresco is better anyway.
