There's document management and then there's document management.

It kinds of depends what you're actually attempting and what you mean by document management. If all you want is indexing and searching, that should be relatively easy. If you want all the frills and add-ons that most people mean by a DMS, it gets more complicated. I've investigated this a lot for my work, and ended up deciding all the systems are all either under- or over-powered for what we need.
