Sophisticated document management for the Windows desktop
Interwoven provides two full-featured document management clients—Interwoven
DeskSite and FileSite. These applications offer out-of-the-box, 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 — all without ever leaving their familiar application
interface. Interwoven OffSite enhances the experience by enabling mobile
professionals to have offline access to their critical content via advanced
synchronization and transparent integration into the DeskSite and FileSite
desktop clients.
Interwoven DeskSite provides a Windows-based document management solution
that is fully integrated with popular productivity tools such as Microsoft
Office, Novell GroupWise, WordPerfect and Lotus Notes. FileSite provides
all the functionality that is in DeskSite but is also tightly integrated
with Microsoft Outlook, enabling users to drag and drop e-mail messages
from their Outlook inbox directly into the WorkSite DM repository.
WorkSite stores files in an electronic file folder, called
a WorkSpace that is the virtual equivalent of the paper file folder. The
WorkSpace is the core element of matter-centric or project-centric collaboration,
and – unlike other document management solutions – each WorkSpace can
be accessed from both DeskSite and FileSite, as well as from WorkDocs
– a browser-based UI, without the need to maintain and synchronize multiple
databases. Both DeskSite and FileSite provide tree views that enable
users to navigate these WorkSpaces in a contextual information hierarchy
that matches their day-to-day organizational experience.
The newest releases, DeskSite 8 and FileSite 8, introduce streamlined
document filing capabilities that work the way a business user does, virtually
eliminating the need for manual entry of profile data. During matter or
project creation, metadata, such as matter/project name, author, description,
and more, is assigned to the project folders. When a user selects a folder
in which to store a file or e-mail message, the document will automatically
inherit the metadata and security from the folder, eliminating the need
to manually enter profile values. The result? Happier users, and better
search results.
In today’s fast-paced environment, business users need the ability to
access information at any time, from any location. This is especially
true for users who spend a substantial amount of time on the road or at
client sites. Until now, mobile users had the ability to download specific
files to a laptop for remote use, but they have lacked the ability to
use document management features such as check-in/check-out, versioning
and search while disconnected from the network.
Interwoven OffSite is an add-on for DeskSite and FileSite that provides
users with the virtual equivalent of their matter or client/project file,
making all files stored in WorkSite, including documents, e-mails, scanned
images and other content, readily accessible from the users laptop, even
when disconnected from the network. A fully portable version of WorkSite,
OffSite uses the same familiar user paradigms and interfaces available
in online mode, enabling users to browse the file hierarchy, view and
modify existing documents, create new documents and search repository
content. On reconnection to the network, OffSite automatically synchronizes
the entire file, and OffSite’s sophisticated synchronization algorithm
resolves any content conflicts quickly and accurately. Interwoven OffSite
provides the anytime, anywhere availability that today’s highly mobile,
fast-paced business professional demands.
