KnowledgeTree 3.0.0 Released

CAPE TOWN, March 2, 2006 – KnowledgeTree™, the world’s leading commercial open source document management system, today announced the availability of Version 3.0 of the popular software that adds powerful workflow features, integration with a user’s desktop and Microsoft Office applications and new features to help companies better meet compliance requirements.

 KnowledgeTree is a powerful, free, open source and Web-based document management system built on the popular open source LAMP (Apache/MySQL/PHP) stack. It is the leading PHP-based commercial open source document management software project, with more than 120,000 downloads to date. It is used by Fortune 500 companies, community organizations, local and state governments and educational and scientific institutions around the world.

 “KnowledgeTree is an incredibly stable, feature-rich document management system that offers enterprise-grade functionality with exceptional ease of use,” said Daniel Chalef, director of KnowledgeTree developers Jam Warehouse. “It enables organizations to move away from uncontrolled and un-audited shared network drives to an environment which encourages knowledge sharing and helps ensure compliance with regulations including Sarbanes-Oxley, SEC Rule 17a-4 and FDA 21CFR11.”

 Version 3.0 of KnowledgeTree offers greater ease of use, upgraded support for regulatory compliance requirements, advanced workflow features and increased system scalability, performance and robustness. An entirely new user interface and plug-in architecture allows the PHP development community to easily customize the application’s appearance, internationalization and functionality.

 Customers can now also buy a commercially-supported version of KnowledgeTree on an annual subscription basis that includes the Baobab Integration Server and Baobab plug-ins for the Windows Desktop and Microsoft Office applications. The core KnowledgeTree DMS application will remain free for download and use under the open source GPL license.

 Baobab Integration Server provides standards-based WebDAV integration to the KnowledgeTree repository from the Microsoft Windows Explorer, Mac OS X Finder and other WebDAV client applications. It also provides direct access to KnowledgeTree documents from within Microsoft Office applications, allowing users to browse and open documents and view metadata from within their most commonly used applications.

 The Baobab Integration Server is scheduled for beta release in March 2006.
