PR Newswire (US)
Enables direct interaction with documents from any Microsoft
Windows-based application BELLEVUE, Wash., Oct. 13
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Captaris, Inc. (NASDAQ:CAPA), a leading
provider of software products that automate document-centric
processes today announced the general availability of Captaris(R)
Alchemy(R) 8.3. The new version of the digital archival system
introduces Alchemy File Connector, a feature that maps a
Microsoft(R) Windows drive to an Alchemy repository, enabling users
to directly interact with their documents from within any
Windows-based application. Alchemy File Connector users can store,
retrieve and manage documents and images within Alchemy as easily
as saving the files to the desktop or shared network drive. But,
unlike traditional storage methods, Alchemy ensures files are
immediately available to all appropriate users in a secure,
auditable environment with full text searching. "Our customers will
be glad to see this version of Alchemy supports a more direct path
for leveraging the searchable archive to enhance productivity,"
said Malcolm Wilkes, Strategic Director for Avanquest UK Limited, a
Captaris partner. Alchemy serves as a centralized digital document
filing system users manage directly from everyday applications. By
providing access to Alchemy through a drive letter in Windows,
Alchemy File Connector users manage documents through familiar
interfaces such as Microsoft(R) Windows Explorer, My Computer,
Microsoft(R) Office and Microsoft(R) Office SharePoint(R) Server
2007, along with almost any other business solution. From within
these applications, Alchemy File Connector users can: -- Add
documents to Alchemy -- Search for and retrieve documents --
Check-in and check-out documents from Alchemy (library services) --
View versions and history -- View and modify document metadata "If
you don't control your documents, they will control you," said Paul
Yantus, executive vice president of Marketing and Product
Development for Captaris. In fact, Gartner Group estimates
professionals spend 50 percent of their time looking for
information. "Alchemy File Connector makes it even easier to manage
documents directly from Windows-based applications for the control
that accelerates business processes and enhances profitability,"
Yantus noted. Users gain benefits that are essential to competing
in an information-driven world. -- Increased productivity :
employees can find and share documents in a centralized location --
Compliance support: only authorized users are allowed to access
documents -- Streamlined collaboration: multiple iterations of
documents are managed for complete revision control and direct
interaction eases migration to Microsoft SharePoint Availability
