CaptureProject

Overview

Today's market leading companies face an ever-increasing need to maintain and increase competitiveness, reduce costs and streamline processes. On top of this is the constant need for compliance to the relentlessly growing list of regulations. One of the key areas that these goals can be met is in the control and management of unstructured business data both now and into the future through the effective use of Enterprise Content Management (ECM).

Cad-Capture is central to providing companies with the ability to get true business benefit from Enterprise Content Management rather than just meeting the basic regulatory requirements. By utilising the latest technology from market leaders such as Microsoft, Oracle, Open Text and Autodesk and supplying our own integrations to systems, drawing and viewing applications we offer organisations the chance of true collaboration across both their internal and extended enterprise.

The challenge of getting the right information to the right people at the right time is difficult to master. Many organisations have struggled to justify an enterprise wide solution for content and document management and, instead, have opted for departmental point solutions. This has often resulted in islands of information and technology which in the long term have proven expensive, difficult to maintain and hard to move away from. The ability of Cad-Capture to deliver self contained but fully scalable point solutions utilising recognised market leading technology means that a future proof solution can be tried and tested at the departmental level first.

Collaboration Solutions:

• CaptureProject -SharePoint
• CaptureProject - eDocs DM
• eDocs DM - Microsoft SharePoint Integration

Cad-Capture can deliver a solution using eDocs DM (formerly Hummingbird), the well established market leading ECM solution from Open Text, or the ground-breaking SharePoint technology from Microsoft. To maximise the benefits we can also deliver a combination of the two technologies working hand in hand with our eDocs DM-SharePoint integration meaning the opportunities for cost effective document management and ECM have increased dramatically.

Cad-Capture delivers world class collaboration and content management capability across the globe. Our portfolio includes the following offerings:

• CaptureProject-SharePoint - a web-based project centric solution ideal for collaboration between departments and companies alike utilising the Microsoft SharePoint infrastructure.
• CaptureProject-eDocs DM - a web-based project centric solution ideal for collaboration between departments and companies alike utilising Open Text eDocs DM.
• eDocs DM - Microsoft SharePoint Integration - Current users of Open Text eDocs DM (formerly Hummingbird DM) are now able to use the Microsoft SharePoint product suite in conjunction with their eDocs installation through the use of Cad-Capture's eDocs-SharePoint integration. This provides the opportunity for increased collaboration within their own organisation as well as fast, effective communication and collaboration with customers, suppliers and partners.

Options:

What does it do?

• Allows real-time collaboration on complex data
• Web based deployment
• Cuts postage costs
• Minimises project delays and cost over-runs

For those organizations already using the Open Text products the opportunity now exists to deliver further capability and value from building the use of SharePoint into their infrastructure. This will allow:

• Information management and retention to be rolled out across the board to all employees at the desk-top level
• Streamline processes with content stored centrally but accessed quickly and efficiently, thus improving and maintaining compliance and reducing costs
• Existing tools sets such as Microsoft Office to be fully leveraged in the effective management of content across the business and beyond

For those organizations who have aging or conflicting point solutions or have never been able to justify the use of ECM then the options are greater also. Microsoft SharePoint in conjunction with CaptureProject offers the following:

• An entry level, low cost solution is available for smaller, departmental solutions - thus providing a fast ROI (return on investment) and also giving an opportunity to build a business case to justify rolling out to other functions and departments.
• Integrations to common but vital systems such as Microsoft Office and SAP.
• Microsoft SharePoint offers a future proof solution – with an upgrade path both for size of deployment (MOSS) and complexity (CaptureProject utilizing Open Text).
• Project/Process Centric Content management.
