Dubai Land Dept digitises documents

The Dubai Land Department has digitalised all its documents by implementing a FileNet Document Management Solution, according to AME Info.

Over 1.5 million pages representing the backlog of paper documentation have already been migrated to a FileNet system and an additional 3.5 million pages are set to be added from the on-going New Dubai real-estate project.

"FileNet`s document management solution helped Dubai Land Department successfully overcome several challenges, which included fragmentation of information as a result of data being scattered in various systems and forms, slow customer transaction processing time, and the need to meet increasing regulations," adds the article.

EMC has integrated content and digital rights management software from two of its acquisitions in an effort to give companies better control over their data, writes CIO Today.

EMC has released a new version of its Records Manager software, which was developed by Documentum before it was acquired by the storage vendor in late 2003.

Further, EMC also added a package combining content management capabilities with digital rights management technology that it obtained through its acquisition of Authentica in February.

Records Manager 5.3 and the Information Rights Management (IRM) Services can be used together to apply security protections and permissions to unstructured data stored in a Documentum repository, says Lubor Ptacek, a marketing director at EMC.

Redlasso, a provider of phonetic search technology for rich media content, has been chosen to provide its content managing system (CMS) to Philadelphia`s 610 WIP sports talk radio station.

A release on PR Newswire reads: "Because it uses almost no syndicated or taped programming, WIP typically generates 24 hours of original content a day. In a fanatical sports city like Philadelphia, the ability to capture and find valuable content quickly and accurately can mean a great deal to listener and broadcaster alike."

"By going with Redlasso, we are solving a very real problem of content access and retrieval, while setting us up for future opportunity as media continues to move towards an on-demand world," says Marc Rayfield, VP and GM of WIP.

Blue Robin, an e-business infrastructure development company, has introduced EZEdit, a CMS designed to provide a user-friendly environment that can accommodate multiple users with varying skill levels.

"The browser/OS-independent CMS provides an easy-to-use, multi-level authenticated text and HTML editor with similar features and functionalities of popular word processing applications," writes MediaSyndicate.

In addition to most features found in popular word-processing applications, the WYSIWYG editor of EZEdit allows copying and pasting code and formatted text from other applications, such as Word, Works, PageMaker, InDesign, or MS Publisher.
