A Good Document Management software with some extensibility?

Question

We are looking forward for some good document management suits/applications, with some extensibility.

The customers will submit various documents, and this need to be stored using the system for later review and verification. Customers can come back any time to view/modify these documents.

We need to integrate this with the existing .NET product stack, so some APIs for uploading/retrieving documents are expected, along with some out of the box functionality to edit the documents online.

Expected document support include pdf, doc etc.

Added - We are also considering cloud based services. Any comments on Azure SharePoint services?

Thanks

If you are using Windows as a server operating system you could have a look at Windows SharePoint Services. This is included with Windows Server.

I NEVER thought I'd say it, but SharePoint kicks butt. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it is great!

My company rolled SharePoint out for general use by all employees. We've now moved all of our development documentation into its control. The versioning and tracking of changes has been wonderful.

If SharePoint is an option for you, Jump on it.

Answer 3

Drupal is an open-source content management platform with a good plugin mechanism for extensions.

Sharepoint is pretty good, but consider what features you need, as there is a big price jump between versions and the Sharepoint name is used to describe a wide range of products.

Also consider IBM's Quickr, it has tremendous integrations.

Alfresco has a REST interface...
