    <p>Well, I should just say that my one experience with Sharepoint is not great, and I am irritated by it's limitations every day, which is constantly adding to my frustration with it. I'm sure that it could be made more useful, but not as of yet.</p> <p>What you are looking for is a Business Process Management (Workflow) solution that is tied into Document Management. I did this work for the better part of a decade, so I know of a few companies that offer these products. (Some of these may be overkill, but then again, so is sharepoint)</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FileNet" rel="nofollow noreferrer">FileNet</a> - Offers both BPM and DM. pricey but 30 years experience doing the work and their products are Rock Solid. (Training is also in SoCal. Nice!) </li> <li><a href="http://epitomesystems.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Epitome</a> - Offers both BPM and DM (called it EPM - I hate marketing). licensing can run as a per seat or per transaction. (All .NET api's and can design or host the solution if you want)</li> <li><a href="http://www.opencms.org/en/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OpenCMS</a> - Just DM, free, but you will need to hook into BPM (WWFF).</li> <li><a href="http://www.otg.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OTG</a> - Offers both BPM and DM. No current idea on pricing, but very easy to understand product structure and is very easy to troubleshoot. </li> </ul> <p>Dont bother with </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.opencms.org/en/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OnBase</a> - Support is difficult and they are all COM components, .NET integration is difficult and they are not real willing to help integrators. </li> <li><a href="http://www.westbrooktech.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Fortis / FileMagic</a> - Just not mature enough last time I worked with them.</li> </ul> <p>If you are going to roll your own, make sure that you have at least these few things. </p> <ul> <li>Document versioning /change auditing. Each change should be recorded as a new separate document. (Even though you may be working with electronic forms, each time the data is changed, the old version should be preserved)</li> <li>Locks / checkout for a document. In much the same way source control works.</li> <li>Keep it simple. </li> </ul>
