Document Management for IT Teams

Deploy infoRouter on-premise with Active Directory integration, SQL Server or MySQL, and standard Windows Server infrastructure. REST API, WebDAV, and zero client installs.

Most document management systems create more work for IT, not less. They require proprietary infrastructure, dedicated administrators, ongoing vendor support contracts, and client software installed on every workstation. When something breaks, your team is stuck between a vendor support queue and a business unit that needs documents now.

infoRouter was designed to run on the infrastructure you already manage. Windows Server. IIS. SQL Server or MySQL. Active Directory. Your team deploys it, owns it, and maintains it with the same tools and skills they use for everything else.

Key Takeaways

  • infoRouter runs on standard Windows Server infrastructure with IIS, requiring no proprietary middleware, application servers, or specialized hardware.
  • Active Directory and LDAP integration means zero separate user accounts to manage. Users authenticate with existing credentials.
  • Browser-based access with no client software to install, update, or troubleshoot on user workstations.
  • The REST API and WebDAV support let your team integrate infoRouter with existing business systems without vendor involvement.
  • infoRouter has been in continuous production since 1998, with a track record of stability that reduces support burden over time.

Built on Your Existing Stack

You should not have to learn a new platform just to give your organization a document management system. infoRouter runs on the stack your team already knows:

  • Server: Windows Server with IIS
  • Database: Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL
  • Authentication: Active Directory, LDAP, or Windows Authentication
  • Client: Any modern web browser. No plugins. No desktop client.
  • Integration: REST API with Swagger documentation, plus WebDAV for direct file access

There is no proprietary application server to license. No Java runtime to manage. No containerization requirement. Your team provisions a Windows Server, points it at a database, and deploys.

Active Directory Integration That Actually Works

User provisioning is the hidden time sink in most enterprise software. Creating accounts, assigning permissions, resetting passwords, deactivating departing employees. Multiply that across every system your team maintains, and the administrative overhead is significant.

infoRouter syncs with your existing Active Directory or LDAP directory. Users authenticate with their Windows credentials. When someone joins the organization, they are available in infoRouter automatically. When someone leaves and their AD account is disabled, their infoRouter access ends at the same moment.

No separate user database. No password reset tickets for "the document system." No quarterly access review where you cross-reference two different user lists.

Zero Client Installs

Every application that requires client software on user workstations creates a support burden. Installation, updates, compatibility testing, troubleshooting when it conflicts with other software. For IT teams managing hundreds or thousands of endpoints, this is not trivial.

infoRouter is entirely browser-based. Users open a URL and log in. There is nothing to install, nothing to update on the client side, and nothing to break during OS upgrades. This is true for Windows, macOS, and Linux workstations alike.

On-Premise Control Without Cloud Dependency

Cloud document management solves some problems and introduces others. Data residency concerns. Recurring subscription costs that scale with storage. Vendor lock-in. Latency for large files. Dependency on internet connectivity for core business operations.

infoRouter gives your organization full control over its document infrastructure. Documents stay on your servers, in your data center, behind your firewall. Backup, disaster recovery, and data retention are managed by your team, on your schedule, with your existing tools.

For organizations in regulated industries, defense contracting, or government, on-premise deployment is often not a preference. It is a requirement.

An API Your Developers Can Actually Use

When the business needs to connect the document management system to a CRM, an ERP, an accounts payable workflow, or a custom application, IT gets the ticket. The speed of that integration depends on whether the API is well-documented and accessible, or whether it requires a vendor professional services engagement.

infoRouter provides a REST API with Swagger documentation. Your developers can create folders, upload documents, set metadata, trigger workflows, and query the repository programmatically. WebDAV support lets users map infoRouter libraries as network drives for drag-and-drop access.

No vendor involvement required. No professional services engagement. Your team builds the integration, owns the code, and maintains it on their timeline.

Low Maintenance, High Stability

infoRouter has been in continuous production since 1998. The architecture is mature. The edge cases have been found and handled across thousands of deployments in aerospace, financial services, pharmaceuticals, energy, and government.

For IT teams, this means fewer escalations, fewer emergency patches, and fewer "the document system is down" calls. It means a system that runs reliably on standard infrastructure with standard maintenance practices. Your team's time is better spent on projects that move the business forward than on keeping a document system alive.
