HERNDON, Va., Dec 3, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Next generation of AnnoDoc(R) provides significant increase in capabilities for importing and versioning of annotations
Infodata Systems Inc., (INFD, Trade) a leader in IT solutions for content management, today announces the upcoming release of its next generation of AnnoDoc(R), the market leading content review application. Built on the Infodata Foundation Server (IFS), AnnoDoc will be unique in the marketplace for its ability to simultaneously deliver annotations across multiple enterprise content management (ECM) applications and multiple databases within the same organization. Over 175,000 licenses have been deployed worldwide in organizations that have come to rely and trust AnnoDoc to meet and exceed important aspects of their regulatory and compliance process needs.
Today's regulatory and compliance environment is becoming more restrictive than ever. With as many as 4,000 new rules being created annually by 160 federal agencies implementing laws passed by Congress, organizations must carefully and purposefully update their operational environments to meet new mandates, and at the lowest possible total cost of ownership. It is at this point where Infodata delivers AnnoDoc for assistance in achieving regulatory compliance mandates and advanced business process requirements.
Infodata has designed AnnoDoc 2.0 in response to feedback from customers based on past use of AnnoDoc and where it could be further leveraged. This next generation of AnnoDoc will deliver more sophisticated annotation capabilities that enable the enterprise to be more responsive to today's restrictive regulatory environment. In addition to its existing market leading features, the new product release will allow enterprises to:
-- Retain the versioning of annotations in conjunction with
versioning of documents;
-- Take ownership of imported annotations while retaining the
name, date, and time stamp of the originating external
annotation author(s);
-- Provide for automatic annotation retrieval upon opening of
document for process efficiency; and,
-- Index annotations as groups of collections in the content
repository for more streamlined and intuitive annotation
management, retrieval, and reporting.
To support today's modern, integrated systems, Infodata has built AnnoDoc upon the Infodata Foundation Server (IFS) that provides the ability to quickly build plug-ins to multiple ECM applications and multiple databases. With this ability, large organizations can deploy a single annotation application across multiple content stores to significantly increase compliance actions and reporting while driving down the total cost of ownership.
Infodata anticipates that AnnoDoc 2.0 will be generally available in the spring of 2004. In the mean time, Infodata will be rolling out the beta version of AnnoDoc 2.0 to select customers.
