STAMFORD, Conn., Xerox Engineering
Systems (XES), a subsidiary of Xerox Corporation, today
announced the general availability of Intranet Docs 3.0 -
a document management software suite that allows users
immediate Web-based access to view, edit, mail and print
wide-format documents using a standard Internet browser,
when combined with an XES scanning and printing solution.
The newly updated version of Intranet Docs provides users
greater flexibility with the addition of a Redlining feature
and Activity Reporting Module (ARM).
"The new version of Intranet Docs represents our continued
effort to offer engineers the software tools best suited to
sharing and revising their work with utmost ease," said Rich
Virga, worldwide software segment manager at Xerox
Engineering Systems. "This announcement further
establishes XES as a full-service solution provider of both
hardware and software to the CAD market."
The Redlining module allows users to add both graphic and
textual notations to documents, using ViewMark(tm), which
permits users to zoom in on specific sections of a document
and then e-mail a hyperlink containing an exact pointer to
the desired section. These markup notations can be stored
and easily transferred to another user and viewed along
with any section of the original document. This allows
customers to share proposed changes to documents without
altering the images in the organization's document
database.
The Activity Reporting Module creates a wide variety of
reports that track system usage. This allows administrators
to determine who is searching for and accessing which
documents on the system. The ARM's reports can be used in
conjunction with DirectSight(tm) technology, which greatly
reduces network traffic by staging portions of documents on
Intranet Docs servers and delivering them as needed to the
user.
Intranet Docs 3.0 is capable of supporting and managing
anywhere from 15,000 to 2 million documents in both Intra-
and Internet environments without requiring any plug-ins or
client software.
