Is it possible to build an ECM solution using Drupal – Drupal ECM?

May 26, 2009

As you all know Drupal is a WCM product for basic to intermediate level websites. We have discussed about the differences between Alfresco, Joomla and Drupal – in a previous post. Is it possible to build an ECM solution using Drupal itself, considering the fact that Drupal is just a WCM project, which is just one component of the whole ECM solution. Let us figure it out - 

If you just want to achieve an ECM solution with open source solutions, today there is a choice like Alfresco for implementing ECM. However, I wanted to see if we can achieve the same thing using Drupal itself. 

What does today’s ECM solution need?
ECM solution needs at the least – Document Management, Web Content Management, Records Managment, Collaboration, Digital Assets Management.

When we build an ECM solution with Drupal and other components attached, we cannot have a central repository?!

1) We can leverage Drupal for its WCM.
2) Choose other open source solutions like KnowledgeTree for Document Management.
3) We can integrate with Facebook, LinkedIn etc., for social networking. 
4) I could not think of any Records Management component. If you know, please let me know.
5) We can integrate Planet Blog or WordPress for blogging.
6) Twiki, Mediawiki, SocialText, EditMe for wiki
7) Midquarry for open source collaboration software integration.
8)  ?? for Digital Assets Management?!.
9) PHPBB for forums
10) and much more integrations…

Like this, we can build a wonderful ECM solution, out of no cost – just the integration effort.

What do you think???
