  KnowledgeTree™ is developed by Jam Warehouse, a software development company based in Cape Town, South Africa. Jam Warehouse delivers business process management and web-based document management solutions to world-class organizations.
 

  BitRock's InstallBuilder and Custom Stacks help us provide KnowledgeTree in an easy to install and robust form, removing what is traditionally a significant implementation barrier for would-be users of commercial open source software. Since KnowledgeTree is now deployed on a known and certified Apache, MySQL and PHP stack, our support costs are significantly lower.

Products: KnowledgeTree™ is a commercial open source document management system - a powerful tool that allows organizations to secure, share, track and manage the documents and records they depend on.

By leveraging an active and innovative open source community, KnowledgeTree provides an easy to use and production-ready enterprise document management solution for use by corporations, government institutions, medium to small business and many other organizations. KnowledgeTree's open source architecture allows organizations to easily customise and integrate their document management system with their existing infrastructure, providing a more flexible, cost-effective alternative to proprietary applications.

Challenge:

In order to run KnowledgeTree, users must have installed in their system specific versions of Apache, PHP, MySQL and a number of other third-party applications and libraries. Jam Warehouse could spend time and resources building packages of all of those disparate pieces for Windows and several different Linux distributions, or ask the end user to download, install and configure their own LAMP stack. Putting the burden on end-users might discourage people from evaluating the software, especially those running on Windows or without much Linux experience.

BitRock Solution:

BitRock developed for Knowledge Tree an exclusive Custom Stack that made the installation of all the previously mentioned databases, libraries and Knowledge Tree's Document Management System a painless, fast and smooth process. Users can now be up and running in a matter of minutes after a simple process of entering a few details and pressing "Next", "Next", "Next", "Finish". KnowledgeTree has been downloaded over 250,000 times from the premier open source portal, SourceForge.Net.
