Ademero Inc. Releases Content Central™ Version 4.6
Document Management Software Vendor Releases New Version of Content Central™
TAMPA, FLA., USA – Ademero Inc. announced the release of
Content Central™ version 4.6. The browser-based
document
management software has been improved with a document-type organization
layer, a no-hassle document-creation interface, and a data-integration tool
for business applications. Both the Enterprise Edition and Workgroup Edition
of Content Central have been updated.
Document Types Provide Enhanced Organization Possibilities
Prior to the 4.6 release, Content Central organized related collections of
documents using Catalogs. Now one or more Document Types can
be defined within those Catalogs, and each document record is associated with
its appropriate Document Type. This change moves Catalog components, such as
user access, index fields, workflow rules, and retention policies, to the
Document-Type level.
"The addition of a formal document-type layer in Content Central allows our
customer base to organize content smarter," comments Manuel Montesino,
marketing director for Ademero. "We've found that a single business department
may be divided into numerous subgroups, each with its own document-access
requirements. Organizing document collections by document types enables
department managers to refine their access-control policies, keeping these
distinct divisions in mind."
Capture Forms Enable Document Creation, Access, & Modification From A
Single, Digital Source
Along with capturing, storing, retrieving, and managing documents and other
content, Content Central now allows users to create new documents
using the Capture Forms feature. Customized PDF forms can be uploaded
as templates used to generate new documents in the system. Users load a
Capture Form within the Web-browser interface, fill out the form's fields, and
submit the form directly to the Content Central database. Content Central
composes a new PDF document and stores it in the same location as scanned and
uploaded documents. These digital documents can be subsequently accessed and
edited in the browser, and a new version will be issued automatically for
tracking purposes.
Field Lookups Connect Content Central To Business Applications
To simplify the document-coding process, administrators can now define Field Lookups to assign index-field values using data from other
applications. Any external data source added to the Open Database Connectivity
(ODBC) component in Microsoft® Windows® can be used for Field Lookups. Data
from applications such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software can
be pulled into Content Central, streamlining the capture process and
eliminating redundant data entry.
About Content Central™ Version 4
As a fully browser-based
document management
software system, Content Central extends the boundaries of the traditional
office. The server-based software package works well as an intranet, extranet,
or stand-alone application. Client workstations need only a standard Web
browser to access the Content Central server in house or off site. This not
only provides quick deployment, but also allows secure access to the server
from any location. Tools for capturing, creating, accessing, and managing
documents and other content exist entirely within the browser-based interface.
Content Central solutions and pricing are available for organizations ranging
from the small business to the large enterprise.
Content Central runs on the Microsoft Windows Server platform and utilizes
Microsoft SQL Server as its back-end database engine. Client access to the
Content Central server works well with both Microsoft Internet Explorer® and
Mozilla Firefox® Web browsers. A ready-to-use
document
scanning software application, Content Central provides an interface for
TWAIN-compliant document scanners and includes a barcode-generation tool for
batch processing. Electronic documents and content can be uploaded from client
to server using an efficient drag-and-drop interface. Content Central's
management tools include version control, retention policies, and workflow
rules.

document management
software,
document imaging software, and
document
scanning software and provides related professional services. Based

For documentation-heavy industries like finance and insurance,
scanning paperwork and storing it as images are just the beginning
of document management. Once they have digitized paper records, users
must edit them and move the data they contain into line-of-business applications. Otherwise, the paperwork might just as well be hard copy.

Scanning with your Copier or Multi-function Device (MFD)
How do you get the most out of your scanning copier?
The copier manufacturers (Konica, Sharp, Canon, Kyocera) have really stepped up to the plate in recent years, and focused on the scanning capability of their hardware.

So what is this HIPAA thing, and how does it apply to the management of Documents? Here is my understanding, and an overview of the basic details.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was put in place to protect personal health information and to improve the process of information transfer through standardization.

Document Management and Security
As with most technical endeavors, it seems that with the majority of Document Management projects, security is always an afterthought. Paper documents are an important asset to an organization, and once they are moved into the digital realm, even more attention should be placed on their security.
