LetoDMS, a good choice in Document Management System

This morning, i and my partner went to a Government institution on central jakarta for made a presentation for our client's need in Document Management System (DMS).

What is DMS ?. DMS is a system (based on computer programs in the case of the management of digital documents) used to track, manage and store documents. There, we explained about LetoDMS, an open source DMS software including its features and its function and discussed about their needs. Alhamdulillah, they saw LetoDMS is a proper software for their needs although we need to modify in some places and i as a man in charge about software technical is responsible to make it work.

I choose an Open source as a first choice is, it is a fast way to explain about DMS rather than make a dummy software first, because we don't have yet a DMS product to present. If the client's need is not so far from what the software offer, i just need to modify it in a small effort but with high income :-). But if client's need is far for what the software offer, developing the software from scratch is considerable which the effort could be less than modify open source software with enormous modification and the price is adjusted, of course.

If you or your client need DMS software, i think LetoDMS is a good choice. Besides open source, it has a lot of features, such as :
- Create folders to group your documents
- Lock and unlock documents
- Set expiration-date for documents
- Download documents or view them online within your browser
- User and group management
- Multi language support

The Modification is not about adding new features or modify it but also need to hide or eliminate some existing unneeded features in LetoDMS for fulfill client's need. Oh ya, LetoDMS is based on PHP and Mysql and run in browser, so you need to familiar with PHP and Mysql to modify it.
