SeedDMS is a document management system designed for storing, sharing and controlling electronic files through a web browser. It can be used for anything from a personal document archive to an organisation requiring structured access controls and approval procedures.
The application provides a central repository where files are organised into folders and associated with descriptive information. It is particularly suitable for businesses that need to maintain document histories, manage reviews and ensure staff have access only to appropriate material.
SeedDMS is extensible, with optional integrations for document conversion, office editing, text extraction and external services. Its underlying architecture supports several database engines, making it adaptable to different organisational requirements.
This is free and open source software.
