When I was asked if we could exhibit our new Document Management (EDM) product at the SharePoint conference in Vegas ( 19-22 October ) I was at first sceptical about the merits of this, after all isn’t SharePoint supposed to be able to provide much of the functionality associated with Electronic Document Management software? So I started enquiring about what type of businesses already using SharePoint would consider using a non SharePoint solution for their Document Management. The response was quite surprising.
Many enterprise organisations have deployments of SharePoint but look to more focused departmental level solution for scanning, indexing and workflow of their paper documents. This can be achieved more quickly and cost effectively outside of SharePoint whilst still providing access via the SharePoint portal, thereby leveraging the investment already made.
Anyway. If you want to learn about all this, get yourself along to the conference where some of our EDM software people from the US office will be happy to discuss and demonstrate the solution. We are also, I hear, sponsoring some free drinks called “Epsilons” at the SharePoint conference welcome reception. From what I hear these are quite an interesting blend – so go easy on them! (the drinks, not the Infonic staff).
See you at booth #409!
