Document management enters the cloud

The San Francisco Chronicle reports.

This technology enables companies to choose the deployment model that makes sense for their organisation: software as a service in a secure public cloud, or on-premise in a virtualised, private cloud environment.

CMS Wire says Knowledge Tree's private cloud edition gives SMEs enterprise-class tools to manage and collaborate on business documents.

It also enables companies to synchronise and manage documents from their desktops and within Microsoft Office and Outlook. In addition, it provides a scalable architecture installed on the company's own infrastructure.

The decision to offer a virtualised private cloud deployment of its existing document management platform - which is offered in public, multi-tenant fashion - was driven by a segment of customers and prospects asking for an on-premises option, Information Week states.

Knowledge Tree CEO Daniel Chalef says they didn't receive a huge number of requests, but enough that Knowledge Tree decided to introduce a private virtual appliance version of its multi-tenant application.
