Ektron Complements Content Management Portfolio With New Document Management Functionality
Ektron Inc. announced the release of DMS400, a document management system that supports the requirements of mid-market and enterprise-level organizations by enabling them to bring their information assets under control in a coherent, automated way. With DMS400, knowledge workers can collaborate on projects, as well as rapidly search and access documents, images, multimedia and other information assets, within a process-driven Web-based solution.
"The pressure on organizations to manage documents and digital assets in a centralized, secure environment has never been greater," said Bill Rogers, founder and CEO, Ektron Inc. "The deployment of document management solutions has traditionally required a significant investment of time, budget and IT expertise; however, Ektron DMS400 debuts as a feature-rich, low-cost, quick to deploy solution that addresses mid-market demands. Ektron blazed new trails with our Web CMS and will do the same with our DMS."
Ektron DMS400 enables organizations to streamline processes for creating, editing publishing and sharing documents and other assets while providing organizations with real-time monitoring of information to address accountability and auditing issues associated with managing these files. Because it's tightly integrated with Microsoft technologies, individuals can create and manage Microsoft Office files, and a wide range of additional file types including PDFs, images, and audio and videos files. It also enables users to collaborate on projects and rapidly search and access documents via the Web.
In an attempt to lower document lifecycle management costs and minimize risk by ensuring regulatory compliance, organizations are seeking solutions that automate workflow, foster collaboration among knowledge workers, and improve search of documents and other digital assets. Ektron DMS400 addresses these challenges with features including:
* Collaboration tools for knowledge workers and managers to share information, work together on document and content-related projects, publish information to the Web, and foster an environment for improved productivity.
* Automation tools that provide a process-driven framework linking all workers and streamlining manual tasks, automating the steps for projects from start to finish.
* Reporting tools to place real-time information about people, process and information at the desktop of administrators and managers. Allows organizations to make the best use of resources by identifying and correcting inefficiencies.
* Search functionality lets individuals quickly locate and access documents and assets based on indexed criteria and full text regardless of whether the information is on the public or Intranet site or in DMS400.
* Industry-specific business process automation allows any organization to eliminate previously manual, paper-based business processes and tasks by automating them on the Web.
* Globalization tools support organizations' growing need to reach new markets and communicate with multilingual audiences with speed, efficiency and accuracy.
Ektron DMS400 is built from the ground up on the Microsoft .NET Framework, making it a scalable solution that leverages an organizations' existing expertise and infrastructure investments. The integration of Ektron's document management system and Ektron's content management solutions gives organizations the ability to manage and publish documents and other file types to Web sites, intranets, extranets and portals. Ektron CMS and DMS solutions share a common user interface, workflow model, security model, and provide a Microsoft-centric environment for end users, administrators and developers.
