Filenet is horribly overpriced from IBM, Alfresco looks nice but have serious performance issues (my experience is from 2020), SharePoint is only nice if everything is Microsoft...

Yes, me too. Currently getting docs approved via email back and forth and putting in sharepoint for access. There must be a better way.

#133Since it is based on Google docs and workspace its only a matter of time before google can roll out these same features rendering Hermes obsolete
That is predicated on Google [Docs] being run by someone with a shred of product common sense.

#134Maybee not the best name. Everyone here in Germany knows that Hermes is the name of the parcel shipping service thats notorious lose your goods. ;)
In the UK their reputation got so bad they renamed the company.
Although they are in general quite bad, in my local area they are surprisingly good - for one reason - that specific delivery driver has significant local knowledge.
Getting the right staff in the right place sometimes makes a big difference.

#135Looks awesome, it looks like it could support more backends, as long as they expose some API's: - microsoft office - confluence - markdown? I wonder if it exposes a good interface to implement different backends. I think if the search works well, it can be of great help! Congrats for the launch!
Another general purpose backend could be S3-type object storage.
If I could store all kinds of documents there, I'd adopt in a heartbeat. My use case would be to combine this with a contract management system and to attach all (email) correspondence to the respective contract, so we wouldn't have to rely on the responsible people managing their inboxes.
In turn, I'd like to attach deletion, visibility and archival rules, such that I conform with GoBD and GDPR (I am based in Germany) where on one hand there are archival rules, such as keeping contracts for ten years after they are canceled, or correspondence for six years, but also have to keep in mind that PII gets deleted regularly.
So after a contract has been canceled I'd like to archive all correspondence and the contract itself, such that the operating team only sees active contracts and correspondence older than six years is immediately deleted.

Not mature, but if you fancy contributing I've started DMS.rs a couple of years ago: https://github.com/DMSrs/dmsrs It's written in Rust but I never managed to continue the project sadly :(
Would you be interested to re-activate this project? Are you available for (open source) contract work to that effect?
Of course!
Re: Hermes: An open-source document management system
#138Alfresco was supposed to be the OSS alternative to documentum/stellent/etc closed source systems. It was basically a freemium model, which means that a complete OSS solution is out of reach. This basically looks like the same thing. I guess Hashicorp is slightly better at OSS, but... I dunno. A DMS needs: 1) storage (duh) 2) metadata 3) permissions enforcement 4) search / indexing 5) rendering to pdf and pdf signing…
> Honestly I don't understand why a consortium of governments and businesses with high regulatory requirements don't simply get together and develop a common platform for this. They'd rather give billions of dollars to Documentum or Oracle. If they want support, SOMEONE will provide paid support, like Postgres
Or have a cooperative of businesses write the necessary software.
In Germany we have vaguely similar thing going on with DATEV: Basically all tax advisors are members of the DATEV cooperative if they want to use their software suite, which for all intents and purposes is able to implement absolutely anything a tax advisor is required to do while at the same time implement all regulatory requirements such as confidentiality, archival rules, reporting, logging etc.
In my opinion there should be a similar thing going on for all industry to implement the regulations required by GoBD, GDPR and so on.

#139It's shocking to me that Hashicorp would focus on building this undifferentiated work and not on shoring up their core offerings as SaaS where they are falling behind resting on their laurels selling Vault to central IT teams that are increasingly not on the vanguard on the companies they work for.
