Jaime,

I don't think you can compare those products. Or even try to compare  DMS and 
archiving in general. MOSS is a collaboration platform that, among other 
things, has some DMS functionality. It is part of the Office product line and 
plays very together nice with Word et al. Enterprise Vault is a pure archiving 
solution that can, among things, archive SharePoint-based content into it's own 
database.

What are you trying to achieve, why did you come up with these two products?

Regards,
Dan

Greetings List,

Sorry for the OT - just wondering what people would recommend for an 
Archive/Document Management solution?

I'm aware of and have had a look at:-

Symantec Vault http://www.symantec.com/business/enterprise-vault - which has 
the added benefit of catering for your PST files/emails as well as flat files

Sharepoint  http://www.microsoft.com/sharepoint/default.mspx - which according 
to every course I've ever been on the instructors have advised its a nice 
product but certainly not the best document manager!

What is the lists' opinion?

TIA,
Jaime
