OpenKM is a web base document management application that uses standards and Open Source technologies. OpenKM provides full document management capabilities including version control and file history, metadata, scanning, workflow, search, and more. It also allows the social activities around content to be used to connect people to other people, information to information, and people to information; helping to manage, more efficiently, the collective intelligence of the human resources of the company.
Alfresco and OpenKM are both open-source enterprise content management (ECM) platforms that provide tools like document management, version control, workflow automation, business process management, collaboration features, integrations with CRM and ERP systems. Both include cloud and on-premise deployment options.
But Alfresco (founded in the UK in 2005) is more enterprise-focused. It built on a more robust and flexible architecture and offers a wider range of services, including governance and records management. It uses advanced search and AI-powered content services.
OpenKM (2006) is a Spanish system for document management (rather than content management) in small and medium business. It has simpler user interface, less functions and is easier to deploy. The good side is that is has lighter computing resource requirements.
