Drawing Management, Document Management and Viewing Solutions

Any document type, including handwritten forms and notes, sales and purchase orders, photographs, pictures, historical records, office, CAD, pdf, and more, can all be stored with a single document management solution. Eliminate misfiling and lost business documents -- dynamic sorting and full text searching guarantees that pertinent information can be accurately and easily located.

Property fields -categories of information- organize and sort documents. Property fields can be standard, such as title, date & author as well as customized, such as company name, project name, purchase order number, vendor, type of document etc. Information can be easily searched for and sorted according to these fields. For example, find and view all purchase orders for Office Supply Products in 2005. Full text searching is also available for both existing electronic documents as well as scanned documents.

The process is very straight forward. Locate the documents you want and view them without launching the native application. Then take advantage of all the benefits of document management!

Company-wide communication and information access is easy with an echive document management solution. Shipping can review the original purchase orders, accounting can review shipping information, purchasing can view revised engineering drawings and PO's, and the list can go on and on... Users can search for, view and print documents without launching any native applications.

And, to enhance the communication process, redlining allows users to add notes and comments to any file. These notes are automatically loaded with the file as a separate layer which maintains the integrity of the original document or drawing.

With optional raster editing software, rasterREnew, these notes can be permanently incorporated into the document or drawing.
