Upgrades Enhance Document Imaging System

February 18, 2003

With its 5.5 release of ViewWise, Computhink, Lombard, IL (www.computhink.com), has enhanced the capabilities of a document management system designed for small- to mid-sized businesses. The new AdminWise module is said to improve the administrator's control of document, system and support utilities. Features include support for backup and restore, audit trails, recycle bin override, user monitoring and the ability to override or reset redaction passwords.

Also new in ViewWise is Stellent's Outside In technology, which lets users view documents in 225 native file formats, including Microsoft Word and Excel, without the native application being present.

Support has also been added for DjVu, an image file format that can compress files to one-tenth the size of conventional compression formats. The format lets users digitally capture, save, email and export large, high-resolution documents without encountering bandwidth and file transfer issues.

New ViewWise Office functionality for Microsoft Office applications (2000/XP) lets users save a file in its native file format straight to ViewWise by selecting the ViewWise Icon visible on the office application tool bar. For example, Outlook users can select and save single or multiple emails along with any attached files. The email is saved in HTML format and the attached file(s) are added as additional pages that retain their original file format.
