FileNet

FileNet groupware is one of the centralized collaboration tools that is currently available for professional use. It provides business professionals with the opportunity to collaborate, and learn together as they create business related documents. FileNet is a valuable product, but it does have a few conclusive drawbacks. Among these are that it requires an IT infrastructure, and an installation period that is often drawn out and lengthy.

If you are sure that FileNet’s document management services won’t work for your business team, consider NextPage® 2 Document Collaboration. NextPage 2 Document Collaborationrequires no IT infrastructure, and can be installed in a few short minutes.

Groupware options that are similar to FileNet options offer useful features, but these features are often difficult to utilize with associates who work for separate companies. For instance, if you decide to let an associate of another company review and edit an important document, you will often be unable to collaborate with your associate until he or she purchases the same groupware you are using. With NextPage 2 Document Collaboration, however, you can collaborate with anyone, regardless of whether or not they are a NextPage user.

With NextPage 2 Document Collaboration, you can merge various versions of your document into one version. With a document Activity Center, you can see where the versions of your document are stored, who has edited your versions, when the revisions were made, what the exact revisions were, and how the revisions fit into your final document. NextPage 2 Document Collaboration also provides alerts, which notify you if you open a document that is not the most recent version of that document. With NextPage 2 Document Collaboration, you never waste time on an outdated version of your document.
