Hello All, I anticipate this is going to be a very broad question however I shall endevour to be as concise as possible without divulging too much project critical information.
For quite some time I have been working a Content Management System. However, its vastly different to many CMS's available because of the way it handles the dispatch of requests over a server pool and incorporates its own Template Engine which I developed speciffically with flexibility and ease of use in mind.
Any way, this is completed and I'm happy.
Looking over my product, I'm seeing lots of practical applications for such a product. However for my target audience to be reached I need to expand on several of the core features which I currently offer.
Namely, I want to provide a solid document management system and include sharing and versioning of documents to enable businesses to pretty much use the product as an Enterprise Content Management Solution.
I am trying to find if there are first any 'plug' in document control solutions available on licence. After researching SharePoint I can see that its not really the 'plug' in type of thing I'm looking for as I would need to take a massive step BACK to refactor lots of the site.
The site is coded in PHP and runs several Java apps in the back end also currently so code/language divergence is not an issue. I run accross a mySQL database currently however can support (again) other types of RDMS.
If you have created a website, which creates websites, how would you handle the additional features that a ECM demands.
