Hi everyone!
Is it possible to use Bonita as a document manager perhaps with a configuration already present, for example a jackrabbit indexing or with an external integration such as Alfresco?
```

```
Thanks in advance

It is not recommended to use Bonita as a document management system, even if it provides certain&nbsp;document management capabilities. Instead, integrating Bonita with an external document management (like Alfresco) would be a good approach.

You can use existing [CMIS](https://documentation.bonitasoft.com/bonita/7.11/cmis)connectors.
