Most organisations seem to stumble around using a combination of unstructured Word documents, file systems and email. When they find themselves totally at a loss they’ll try and shove the whole mess into a document management system, but a combination of unstructured documents and organisational inertia means it usually does more harm than good. There’s SharePoint, but that’s best avoided. Some places, with a bit more technical skill use wikis, and issue tracking systems like Jira, but even they aren’t quite what Notes was in its heyday. I sometimes wonder why there isn’t a compelling successor to Notes built on CouchDB.
