A thought about the value of your purchases

Christmas is a good reminder that you don't get what you pay for - you get what you shop for. You're probably not comparing televisions thinking, "I'm going to buy the most expensive 65" television I can find because it will definitely be the best one for me." "My friend has a Samsung, so that's what I'm getting." "I can only fit a 55" television in the space I have, but I'm going to get a 65" inch set because I can afford it."

I don't approach shopping that way and I'll bet you don't either. The point is, you can get great software solutions for a good price that will suit your needs and expand as you require new features. I've always looked for great products that offer outstanding value and partnered with these companies. That includes ABBYY for capture and conversion, and HelpSystems for RPA, and Xerox for document and content management with versatile workflow options.

Be sure to browse our CriteriaFirstWare site for new items and sale items along with other products that will contribute to your organization's digital transformation needs. Call or write to outline your requirements and desirements, both short-term and long-term, and we'll put you on the path to success with a good roadmap to follow. It typically doesn't cost very much to get started.

DocuShare Archive Assistant

On Sale extended through the end of December. 20% off.

The DocuShare Archive Assistant is used to set the expiration_date property with the date you want the document to move from your production DocuShare server to the DocuShare Archive Server. This date can be set relative to the create_date or modified_date properties the system generates. This accommodates different file plans you establish for each of your object types including generic documents, invoices, contracts, orders, etc. We can also set another property we generally name as the deletion_date property so that you can clear your content out of the DocuShare Archive Server when you no longer want or need to retain them using our included Expunger tool. That's something you can't do with Xerox' Lifecycle Manager. We'll show you how to place holds on documents that should be retained until cleared for legal or conformance purposes. Our DocuShare Archive Assistant is a tremendous bargain that you can easily set up yourselves.
