ABSTRACT
The aim of the project is to develop a document management system that is able to deliver access to anyone authorized anytime, anyplace on any device.
The system developed makes use of rich internet technology to replace desktop application with rich internet application. The system shares the advantage of both web application and desktop application, and removes the most disadvantages of both.
The problems solved in this system include: • Lack of support: No support for a document type simply means any access to the content of the document. • Complication of various software packages: Different document type use different software package which work in the way differ dramatically, which significantly reduce the usability. • Security: Virus and Spy ware hidden in the document. • Maintenance: The longer the lifetime of software, more bugs will be exposed. Update and configuration on each client can be an annoyance.
At the end of the project, a well built web based document management system will developed. The built-in document type supports will be Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and PDF. This system permit user to manage document within the web browser and with no any support installed. In other words, the only requirements are an internet connection and a web browser (such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Opera etc).
