Centerfield Software has entered the market for document archive and retrieval with the local launch of Create!archive v3.0, an integrated offering from Bottomline Technologies, the financial resource management (FRM) software and managed services provider which Centerfield represents locally.
Part of Bottomline`s Create!form product suite, Create!archive creates PDF copies of documents, with Windows client or Web-based search and retrieval options.
"Recent issues, such as Sarbanes-Oxley and, locally, the ECT Act, along with the growing interest in Web self-service, have made Create!archive an important component in the overall value that Bottomline`s products can deliver," says Paul van Aswegen, sales engineer at Centerfield.
Create!archive is part of Bottomline Technologies` Create!form document output management product suite, which streamlines the formatting and delivery of business documents for a wide range of business applications and platforms. Create!archive v3.0 is compatible with other Bottomline products, including Create!form, Create!stream, Create!print, Create!email and Create!fax.
New Create!archive v3.0 features include:
* Document "multi-select and redirect", which provides users with the ability to select one or more returned documents from the results screen and redirect them to a new destination such as fax, print or e-mail.
* PDF password document security, which enables password protection (encryption) of individual Create!form documents -* not just archive access * giving users the ability to select robust security features that travel with the document. For example, administrators can set standardised security to limit the ability to open, view, edit, print or extract content from a document.
* Simplified data range search, which facilitates selection of retrieval parameters with Van Aswegen and date range "pop-ups" to simplify the search process.
* Dynamic and static drop boxes, which enable administrators to include dynamic or static drop boxes within their search view, where one or more index values are made selectable by the user (either mandatory or optional) as initial values.
* Enhanced archive-aging options and streamlined dialogues, which offer greater scheduling control for the automatic deletion or offline storage of documents in accordance with corporate record retention policies. Administration dialogues are also streamlined for greater usability.
* Expanded help file capabilities, which enable administrators to provide enhanced support to users of the Create!archive search screens with customised, internal help files, in addition to the Create!archive administration help file.
"With the rapidly growing amount of information in companies today, corporate record-keepers, librarians and archivists need a solution to help them bring their situation under control," adds Van Aswegen. "Create!archive 3.0 addresses this need."
