Hiya Dan,
 
Archiving is the main goal. I realise Sharepoint was not a good
comparison, but my knowledge on the matter is very limited and I don't
know of any other comparable products to Vault.
 
Thanks to Greg & Bill for suggestions - looked at the demo's, nothing
more atm.
 
anything else?
 
 
Kind Regards,
 
Jaime Watson

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
<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
