Document Management Systems is Egypt

What is MyDMS? MyDMS is an open-source Document Management System based on PHP and MySQL published under the GPL. But what is a document-management-system (DMS)? First a DMS allows you to store any kind of binary data - just like a usual file-system.

Extensibility of Document Management Systems

There are some features that extend the normal capabilities of a file-system:

• Document Meta-data: Meta-data can be attached to a document (such as owner, status, create date, etc.)
• Version-Control: Old versions of documents are saved and can be retrieved as needed.
• Security-Mechanism: Not every user should have access to every document - a DMS offers restriction-mechanisms
• Easy Access: Users can find files through tables of contents, indexes, and full-text searches and sort the results by certain criteria.

What does DMS offer?

• Upload files through web-interface.
• Create folders to group your documents.
• Edit document and folder properties online.
• Detailed information on uploaded documents.
• Lock and unlock documents.
• Update documents - old versions are saved.
• Individual Icons for different MIME-Types.

Project Management Systems is Egypt

What is PMS? dotProject is a web-based project management application, designed to provide project layout and control functions.

What Project Management Systems do

To understand dotProject, you need to understand what project management is all about. Project Management is about the structuring of a series of tasks and the schedule associated with those tasks, to achieve an outcome. The nature of those tasks and the schedules and any associated functions (such as project planning, contract negotiation, risk management, cost management and so on) will depend greatly on the nature of the projects that you can management. dotProject aims to provide the project manager with a tool to manage tasks, schedules, communication and sharing. But beware, dotProject will not be all things to all project managers - you may find that other FOSS tools are more appropriate to your particular requirements. You will need to do some investigation and testing to find the product that best suits your requirements. dotProject assumes that you understand the basic concepts of project management and what it is that you are trying to achieve in looking for a project management tool. The full range of dotProject modules are outlined in Module Descriptions.
