A free secure Web publishing facility using Correlate Client has been introduced to Internet users by Exsol, the knowledge management division of EC-Hold. The system, which will be offered through ISPs, will help Internet users who struggle with e-mail bottlenecks while sending large documents through the Internet.
The brainchild of Amir Lubashevsky, CEO of Exsol, the free service allows users to instantly publish large documents, in virtually any format, to the Web.
"Instead of sending large documents - which can clog up networks and often arrive at workstations where no knowledge management tools exist - document originators can now publish their large Correlate and MS Office applications direct to a dedicated webspace," Lubashevsky explains. "This is achieved in a knowledge managed environment, thus sharing information with team members, customers or causal browsers all over the world."
Currently the service is available at http://www.mycorrelate.com, but as soon as negotiations are finalised with South African ISPs, a http://www.mycorrelate.co.za Web site will also become operational.
"By logging onto these sites, users can download their free Correlate Personal version of Correlate Client and immediately activate their own MyCorrelate.com account," says Lubashevsky. "Publishing information via MyCorrelate.com is as easy as saving files to a hard disk, and users need have no knowledge of FTP or HMTL," he says.
Once loaded, Correlate Client will install a "publish to Web page" button on the tool bar of any MS Office application. "Using Correlate`s KnowledgeMaps, or from within Word, Excel and PowerPoint, users can click on the publish button and choose one of their pre-assigned URLs. MyCorrelate.com automatically does all the work - converting the file to HTML/XML and posts the information to the selected Web page," says Lubashevsky.
The first five megabytes of storage space is free, and beyond that a nominal charge is made for additional space.
"Correlate Client, with all its chaos management and information management capabilities, will organise and set up a KnowledgeMap on the Web site," says Lubashevsky.
Users can set their own security access levels, only allowing certain users or allowing free access by all in the usual Web manner. The published documents can contain links to PDF files, images or any sort of file in the normal Web manner.
