how many authors? 17 sites with one central >100 Authors how many current documents? Unknown as we never did this. Going from Paper to electronic but the number could start at greater than 250 how many new documents per year? Again not sure I am figuring 100 new each year with archiving the last 7 years of info are there specific workflow requirements? No this is for the bigwigs to look at but a workflow process if available might come in use down the road authentication requirements? (is AD required?) Authentication is required. We are a Windows shop so if we hosted it we could use AD but a built in granular access control will suffice for this project. budget? Not at that stage One person through a big number out there which I chuckled at. We are a non profit and the Project leader is an accountant and the people asking for this are the finance people so we are looking to this as cheap as possible that is why I am asking for suggestions. Even it is a $100k a year item I need to look at it and if it does what they want it could be an option. platform? (is there an OS preference?) No OS preference. As I said above 99% of our systems here are windows based. I am the only *NIX admin. If a commercial cloud system is available then who cares. If we host it I know they would rather have a Windows based system while I would rather have an Open Source *NIX based system.
