 About RMIT
Interwoven

Interwoven provides a full range of enterprise content management solutions including the WorkSite product that offers comprehensive collaborative document management functions such as check-in/check-out, version control, audit trails, archiving, categorisation, full text, and meta data searches.

Worksite is an easy-to-use, out-of-the box document routing and approval system that enables simultaneous and faster processing.

As with several of the other packages reviewed, users can interface with the WorkSite server via either desktop or browser-based user interfaces including Desksite, a desktop document management application that is fully integrated with Microsoft Office applications. Extensions are available that provide integration with Lotus Notes and Novell GroupWise.

For users wishing to use an Outlook interface, Interwoven provide MailSite which is fully integrated with Microsoft Outlook and Office. Users requiring a browser interface may use the WorkDocs Web-based document management.

These applications offer tight integration with popular Windows applications such as Microsoft Office, WordPerfect, Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, and Novell GroupWise.

Users can create a new document, open an existing document, save a document as a new version, change profile information, and perform many other document management functions without leaving their familiar application interface.

Interwoven also has simple and advanced search functionality on every inter face along with collaboration features, and a portal capability that allows for single sign-on from the interface and access to personalised portal pages to track documents and tasks together with project and document notices.

    Most surprised you see you con ...Anonymous -- 07/06/05

    Most surprised you see you consider EDMS's without including Opentext Livelink. I think you have done your readers a misjustice by excluding it.

    NB No affiliation with opentext.

    Paperless Office James -- 07/03/06

    For a true paperless office i would check out www.organiseit.com.au
    perhaps you could do a story on paperless office for small business. This program is fantastic and would work in any environment - small, medium and large

    Apart from the courts and the law catching up with no paper or digitally signed paper very few, if any, of the systems reviewed are any good in an engineering environment without add-ons (if available). I most certainly not at least one of those packages in the top 4 in an engineering business.
