Key information for decision makers regarding new minor release Xerox DocuShare and ABBYY recognition products.


Xerox introduces new options for DocuShare 6.5.3

DocuShare eForms

This is available as an add-on to DocuShare CPX and is based on the Cardiff Liquid Office product.  You can create your own forms or modify the examples provided to gather the information you need to start a workflow process to accomplish much of what you do today without ever generating paper, but still have a PDF of the final document stored in DocuShare.  This can be used for purchase requisitions, personnel forms, job applications, work orders, and much more.  Look for racks of forms in your place of business and evaluate whether they are candidates for DocuShare eForms.  Xerox has priced this very competitively, so call us if you're interested.  More information can be found at:

DocuShare Virtual Filing System

This is a new option that modifies the homepage to present users with search parameters based on the document object type you'd like to find.  You can select which type of document you want to search for, display the search parameters, issue your search, and see your hits in a customized results page.  Otherwise, DocuShare remains unchanged.  If you're interested in this or similar functionality, please call or write.

DocuShare Windows Client to support Windows 64 bit PCs

Xerox is currently working on a new release of the DocuShare Windows Client to support Windows 7 and Vista in 32 and 64 bit operating systems.  The new release will also fully support the new 6 level permissions model available in DocuShare 6.5.  It's unclear when this will be released, but we anticipate you should see this by August.

CIMonitor

We're about to release CIMonitor, a monitoring tool to watch for errors in DocuShare's Content Intake Module, so that email alerts can be sent to one or more persons when an error occurs and provides a link to the log file with the explanation of the problem.  This will help to ensure documents don't go missing and reduces the tedious process of watching for output in the errors folder and digging around for the associated log file.  If you would like to add your features request for consideration, please drop us a note at support@criteriafirst.com  We'll have this posted on our site soon. If you're not already using content intake, look into our DocuShare Enablers page for products like DAVLoader, DAVupDoc, and FS2DS that can make your autofiling efforts so much easier.

DocuShare Archive Server

If you're thinking of upgrading your DocuShare server soon, give some thought to adding an archive server to your configuration.  By offloading older and non-critical content to an archive server, you make the upgrade process easier and faster.  Reindexing your content after an upgrade can take days if you have several hundred thousand or more MS Office documents, searchable PDFs, and other searchable formats in addition to image only PDFs, TIFFs, and the like.  You'll want your main DocuShare server fully indexed and operational ASAP and that can be accelerated when you have an archive server with the bulk of your content reindexing in the background at the same time.  For a quote, please write us at info@criteriafirst.com.
