[Koha] Koha as Doc Man System

[dcook at prosentient.com.au]

You would need to clarify what you mean by "docs management system". 

If you're referring to a system as described by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_management_system, then I would say no. Koha isn't a records management system nor is it a digital library. 

Koha is an integrated library system / library management system, which works by storing and indexing metadata about resources (e.g. books, DVDs, journal articles, et cetera). It doesn't store the resources themselves. There is some basic capacity to store arbitrary files in Koha, but not as sophisticated as you'd find in a document/record management system or digital asset management system. 

Of course, Koha is open source, so a person could always build document management functionality into Koha. 

But I would say it's not viable at present without work.

Is it viable to consider Koha as a docs management system ?
