Document Management as a Shared File Alternative
Document Locator replaces the anarchy of your shared file servers – where files are duplicated, lost, and deleted without control – with an organized document management solution where information is controlled, managed, findable, and secure. Document management tools in Document Locator establish organization and consistency in the handling of all documents.
The Document Locator user interface works directly within your existing Windows Explorer - presenting repositories, folders, and files exactly as your users have come to expect but with all the advantages of enterprise-class document management. In fact, you can drag-and-drop your existing folder structures directly into a repository and begin using Document Locator immediately.
Find Documents Fast
The ability to search and instantly retrieve documents based on simple or complex search parameters increases the efficiency of your business operations. What can take minutes or more to locate on a shared file server can take just seconds using Document Locator. Within Document Locator's repositories, document content and metadata ("Properties") are pre-indexed so that search results are returned instantly in real time. Users do not have to wait for search results or ask coworkers where documents are located, and documents are not re-created because no one could find the origionals.
Improved Collaboration
Document Locator provides powerful document management collaboration features that no shared file server can offer. Version control lets users know which document is the most current; automated workflows guide business processes; Approvals, Notifications, and check-in/check-out features increase group work efficiency; and version history and auditing document the historical record of operations on documents.
- Replaces unorganized and unmanageable shared files with an efficient information system.
- Increases the speed with which documents are found from minutes to seconds.
- Improves collaboration with check-in/check-out, version control, workflow, and more.
