OpenProdoc is the perfect tool for small to mid-size companies which are always dealing with large amounts of documents that require organization and storage. The reason why OpenProdoc can help is because it is an ECM document / content management system, software which will help you keep track of documents, help you organize them and allow you easier access later on if the situation requires it.
ECM stands for enterprise content management, and having a proper ECM system installed on your companies computers is very important, because without it documents and files would be a nightmare to find. OpenProdoc is exactly that, software which will help you store and organize your files better and more efficiently. We’re mentioning companies, but this software isn’t intended specifically for company, individuals can also use it if they have a lot of files on their computers.

OpenProdoc installation and availability
This free ECM system is written in Java, that means that it can run wherever Java can run, all the major systems like Windows, Linux and Mac are supported. Installation might be a little bit tricky, you can download the installer or a portable version of OpenProdoc. We went with portable, and found that there’s no .exe file to run the app, after consulting with the accompanied read me file we found out that the program is ran by a .bat file, located in the folder, not .exe, and that the username and password for accessing the application are:
Username: root
Password: root
Access to the application is password protected, since you are after all storing sensitive data inside it.
