eQuorum Corporation announces significant new features in Version 8.7 of its ImageSite® Document Management solution, including industry first file earmarking functionality. This is the first time the document management industry has integrated covert file tracking in a document management solution. Scott Brandt, eQuorum’s CEO, stated “this is really exciting because today’s document management systems leave companies hanging once files are downloaded by their users. Now IT and Legal departments have the added assurance that if files are compromised they will know about it.”
ImageSite’s Earmarking module can track files outside the corporate network and using alert parameters can notify corporate administrators when files are compromised either by being opened outside allowable IP ranges, opened an unacceptable number of times, or printed or saved in a given time frame. Administrators are also given information to decide whether or not to lock down the file. Currently, all Word and Excel documents are included, as well as almost all PDF files.
Multi-directional Synchronization
ImageSite V8.7 has enhanced the eSync=Site™module to support multi-directional synchronization for two or more servers. This enables member servers to pass new and changed documents and metadata back and forth, allowing all users to gain access to non-local servers while ensuring files are the most current. According to Mr. Brandt, “companies with many locations can now leave large engineering files local to their primary users while allowing other people in the company to see and share the files if they need them.”
Multi-directional Attributes for AutoCAD
ImageSite can now not only read metadata from AutoCAD block attributes, it can write information back into those attributes from ImageSite’s custom defined fields. This allows users to make bulk changes to file attributes in ImageSite and have them populate directly into AutoCAD. This ensures any changes made to attributes in either AutoCAD or ImageSite remain synchronized, while using ImageSite’s easy to use interface to enter changes.
Additional Enhancements
The ImageSite V8.7 release also provides some significant upgrades and enhancements, including:
Complete support for AutoCAD 2014 integration
- Complete support for SolidWorks 3D viewing
- Vectored search values populating search screens
- Standard projects supporting queued rendering
- Support for Java Release 1.7.0_45.
