AutoEDMS Document Management and Workflow Solution

AutoEDMS is a comprehensive document management and workflow solution which manages documents and document revision processes, in a small workgroup or a multiple-server, wide-area network. AutoEDMS is used to manage CAD drawings, scanned images, electronic documents and hard-copy files. AutoEDMS helps manage computer-based files, data and programs -- from engineering to accounting and from production to sales. AutoEDMS is often used by engineering, manufacturing and architecture firms to accomplish their tasks saving time and money.

AutoEDMS can help you simplify teamwork, streamline time-to-market, improve quality and save money. AutoEDMS offers simple and secure access to your network-based documents. Its powerful database keeps track of your files, and frees you from remembering fileserver names, volumes, directories and even filenames.

AutoEDMS has a very solid database, features, functions and customizations and can be used with the latest Windows operating systems. Some of the features of AutoEDMS include:

Automated File Check-Out/Check-In

AutoEDMS provides easy management of your documents, through secure check-out and check-in. These functions act as an electronic librarian, instantly monitoring who has files checked-out of the system and when they are checked back into the system. This prevents two people from working on the same file simultaneously. Users can have multiple documents checked-out in their AutoEDMS "In Basket" to secure them while they are being edited.

AutoEDMS Navigator is a new Explorer-style database navigation and file selection tool. The Navigator is implemented throughout AutoEDMS and can be used in any situation where you would like to "navigate" the database in order to build a "collection" of chosen files. Examples include batch file check-out/check-in, automated transmittals and batch printing and copying.

Database and File Security

AutoEDMS' built-in security works on top of existing network security restrictions. AutoEDMS security prevents unauthorized access to files, database Forms, database information and programs. AutoEDMS supports NT "hidden shares" and secure read-only directories to prevent unauthorized file access or updates.

File Viewing and Printing

AutoEDMS directly views and prints over 200 file types, including Word, Excel, Acrobat PDF, AutoCAD DWG, MicroStation DGN, CADKEY, CALS G4, HPGL, JPEG, tiled and multi-page TIFF files. AutoEDMS also handles AutoCAD 2002 and Microsoft Office XP. The AutoEDMS Viewer Manager is included which allows you to configure 3rd party viewers, in addition to the built-in AutoEDMS viewers.

Internet Ready

AutoEDMS is "Internet Ready". With the built-in AutoEDMS Web Publisher, users can query, view, print, and download managed files through standard web browsers. Forms and preview images are now stored in browser-compatible JPEG format.

By hosting AutoEDMS on a thin client server like Windows 2000 or Citrix MetaFrame, you'll be able to access your AutoEDMS system from a variety of client devices. Local and remote users can easily access your latest AutoEDMS-managed files over the Internet or other connections - hence the name, "AutoEDMS Anywhere".

AutoEDMS Redline Module

The AutoEDMS Redline Module (AutoEDMS RM) is an optional feature that streamlines drawing revisions with electronic redlining, commenting and drawing compare on vector and raster drawing files. No more wasted time looking for revision notes on paper copies of drawings. You can easily annotate and comment on the electronic file and quickly route it to the appropriate person or department for revision.

The Redline Module is tightly integrated with AutoEDMS and the Workflow Engine to provide managed and secure annotation of CAD drawings and scanned images. The Redline Module can also be used to determine and highlight the differences between two different versions of a drawing using the Drawing Compare tool highlights. This is great for revision control.
