TeamCenter/SharePoint alternative?

Wed Dec 17, 2014 6:16 pm

Hello Gerbils. Thought I'd pick your brains again.

My organization uses TeamCenter to collaborate, store and retrieve documents, communicate, manage tasks, plan, etc.

Long story short, it sucks, and it is reliant on a Microsoft infrastructure that is exceedingly costly and which no longer plays nicely with our other productivity/communications systems. What organization planning/collaboration and task/project management software have you guys used AND liked? Ideally, options that are reasonably easy for our users to publish to from many browsers. I was thinking about just a straight web server with a Wordpress theme, buuut... I figured I'd get input from you guys.

Well, there's a pretty huge difference between something massive like TeamCenter and something small and simple like WordPress. The functionality is also massively different.

Without knowing exactly what you mean by "planning/collaboration" and "task/project management"...

What about something like Atlassian Confluence? I've seen this successfully used across multiple teams of people to collaborate on projects. It's basically a wiki with a high-quality UI. Pricing is very reasonable, and they have both hosted and behind-the-firewall versions. If you choose to run it yourself, you can use free software (Linux + PostgreSQL, for example), and not be beholden to Microsoft for licensing expensive stuff. Confluence is Java, though, and it's a bit heavy on RAM usage. They have a demo video on their website which shows some usage of it. Last time I installed it, they can give you a 30-day license and the install was trivial.

Basecamp was the one promoted to us a few years back for project management. I don't know how well it's sustained and what features it has today.

You really need more detail in your posts.

What is the budget, and what are you trying to do with it?

There is Redmine for ticket tracking and project management. The nice thing about Redmine is that it can host multiple projects with each project getting a wiki, code repo, etc.
