Supported Software, the infrastructure optimisation company in the Datacentrix group, has released details of IXOS Software`s latest version of its document management system, DocuLink. IXOS-DocuLink 3.0 organises documents in structured folders and provides SAP R/3 and mySAP.com users with uniform access to both SAP data and non-R/3(r)-related documents.
"Companies today need quick and easy access to specific documents that are linked to business processes - such as inquiries, offers, orders and delivery notes," explains Supported Software product manager Rob Shaw. "For example, an accounting clerk may need an overview of all incoming and outgoing invoices during a specific period, or a sales clerk may need customer quote information. The ability to quickly search for documents and easily navigate the results helps foster operational efficiency and transparency. IXOS-DocuLink enables such results with its document-based approach so often required to access company-internal information. With IXOS-DocuLink, group-specific document views, such as customer files, can be easily configured and customized without additional programming."
DocuLink does not require R/3-specific knowledge to access information. Users with little or no SAP knowledge can easily access and use all of the enterprise-wide information and/or documents.
With IXOS-DocuLink, employees can link web-based mySAP.com Workplace R/3 data to non-SAP-related data to integrate them in a uniform view. In addition IXOS-DocuLink supports mySAP.com Workplace functionalities such as `Drag and Relate`. So, with IXOS-DocuLink, users can simply "drag and relate" to link an R/3 customer number to a process - and then quickly view all the documents for that specific customer number.
IXOS-DocuLink fully supports the functionality of the user-friendly enjoySAP user interface. Users can archive documents by dragging and dropping or simply moving them. A number of important functions can be executed from context-sensitive menus. In-place viewing enables the user to navigate through and view documents at the same time in one window. Actual document searches can be efficiently performed in the background.
