What it is Overview

What It Does

OpenKM is a document management system (DMS) developed by Open Knowledge Management System S.L. It provides a web interface for storing, organising, and managing files, with versioning, metadata, workflow, and search. It ships in a free/open-source Community Edition and a paid proprietary Professional/Enterprise edition. The integrations listed include Microsoft Teams, Active Directory, and LDAP (vendor-claimed) plus Joget.

OpenKM is a horizontal DMS rather than legal-specific software. Law firms and legal departments do use general document management systems, and OpenKM markets to regulated sectors, but it is not built solely for legal workflows. It is included here on that legal-adjacent basis.

Who It’s For

The product fits organisations of any size that need centralised document control and records management — including legal teams that want a general DMS rather than a practice-management-bundled one. It sits at the document storage/review stage rather than matter management, billing, or court filing.

What We Found

OpenKM is headquartered in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Sources differ on the founding year: Wikipedia traces the open-source project to 2005, while LinkedIn lists 2010 — we use 2005 as the project origin. It has a Wikipedia entry, a CMSWire profile, and listings on SoftwareSuggest and AroundDeal. The Microsoft Teams, Active Directory, and LDAP integrations are vendor-claimed and not independently tested by us; the Joget integration is documented.

What We Haven’t Verified

  • Vendor-claimed integrations (Teams, AD, LDAP) — not hands-on tested.
  • Exact founding year (2005 project start vs. 2010 per LinkedIn).
  • Headcount and current pricing.
  • Depth of legal-sector adoption specifically.
