New Version of Captaris Alchemy Introduces Alchemy File Connector
Enables direct interaction with documents from any Microsoft Windows-based application
Highlights
- Alchemy serves as centralized digital document filing system managed from everyday applications
- Direct and secure document control enhances productivity, compliance and collaboration
BELLEVUE, Wash., Oct. 13 -- Captaris, Inc. (NASDAQ:CAPA), a leading provider of software products that automate document-centric processes today announced the general availability of Captaris(R) Alchemy(R) 8.3. The new version of the digital archival system introduces Alchemy File Connector, a feature that maps a Microsoft(R) Windows drive to an Alchemy repository, enabling users to directly interact with their documents from within any Windows-based application.
Alchemy File Connector users can store, retrieve and manage documents and images within Alchemy as easily as saving the files to the desktop or shared network drive. But, unlike traditional storage methods, Alchemy ensures files are immediately available to all appropriate users in a secure, auditable environment with full text searching. "Our customers will be glad to see this version of Alchemy supports a more direct path for leveraging the searchable archive to enhance productivity," said Malcolm Wilkes, Strategic Director for Avanquest UK Limited, a Captaris partner.
Alchemy serves as a centralized digital document filing system users manage directly from everyday applications. By providing access to Alchemy through a drive letter in Windows, Alchemy File Connector users manage documents through familiar interfaces such as Microsoft(R) Windows Explorer, My Computer, Microsoft(R) Office and Microsoft(R) Office SharePoint(R) Server 2007, along with almost any other business solution. From within these applications, Alchemy File Connector users can:
-- Add documents to Alchemy
-- Search for and retrieve documents
-- Check-in and check-out documents from Alchemy (library services)
-- View versions and history
-- View and modify document metadata
"If you don't control your documents, they will control you," said Paul Yantus, executive vice president of Marketing and Product Development for Captaris. In fact, Gartner Group estimates professionals spend 50 percent of their time looking for information. "Alchemy File Connector makes it even easier to manage documents directly from Windows-based applications for the control that accelerates business processes and enhances profitability," Yantus noted. Users gain benefits that are essential to competing in an information-driven world.
-- Increased productivity : employees can find and share documents in a centralized location
-- Compliance support: only authorized users are allowed to access documents
-- Streamlined collaboration: multiple iterations of documents are managed for complete revision control and direct interaction eases migration to Microsoft SharePoint

Alchemy File Connector is available now through authorized Captaris resellers. For more information, visit http://www.captaris.com/alchemy or contact a Captaris sales representative.
