DocuShare Testing

We focus DocuShare testing on the most popular combinations of operating systems, databases, Web servers, and LDAP directory servers; these are our reference platforms.

DocuShare does run in many operating environments beyond our reference platforms. However, since we do not test beyond our references, we cannot claim DocuShare will work on other platforms.

Winter 2015


Buyers Laboratory, Inc.


Two DocuShare products received Buyers Laboratory, Inc. (BLI) "Summer 2012 Pick" awards. DocuShare Enterprise was named "Outstanding Enterprise Content Management Solution" and DocuShare Education was named "Outstanding Vertical Market Solution: Education". BLI praised the way DocuShare helps workers capture, create, organize and share digitized paper and electronic documents and easily search for and retrieve information.

"DocuShare stands out as a uniquely powerful platform," said BLI's Jamie Bsales. "The browser-based interface delivers convenient web conventions such as a Home Page and a History list with links to quickly jump to recently opened folders or files in the database. The platform also supports the creation of web documents such as blogs and Wikis, without requiring end users to learn a dedicated web content management system."
