- download the OWD Community Edition from SourceForge.net, - unzip the file, - copy the files into my Apache Tomcat webapps folder, - open a web browser, - type in the URL and press enter, - log in to the OWD Community Edition as "admin" and - start working in OWD.
3 minutes 10 seconds… Can you beat that time?
Admittedly I didn't need to do any configuration, but I would be interested to know how long it takes you to install OWD with or without configuration.
3 minutes to setup an Alfresco solution is really not bad… but how long will it take you to configure an OpenWorkdesk application which has really business value in it? My guess is that it will cost you a few days but will save you weeks or months of programming work.
