Free document management system fills the gap
AutoCAD and MicroStation users who have been left stranded through the collapse of Motiva have a potential lifeline in the form of a free document management system from the UK called Columbus.
Growing fan club for management software
According to Oasys, the Columbus document management solution has so far been registered for use by some 18,000 companies.
It also incorporates new viewing filters providing support for Microsoft Office XP (including canvas object and ESHR graphics), Outlook 2002, Corel WordPerfect Office 2002, Lotus SmartSuite Millennium Edition 9.6, Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and Visio 2002.
Columbus is unique not only because it is free but also because it is a simple system that can be used by different types of companies of all sizes.
Indeed any organisation that needs to unite data from different parts of its working environment without the complexities of traditional document management systems can use Columbus.
And to make Columbus available to more people, Arup has teamed up with CADopia, a developer and provider of professional CAD software, to provide Columbus on their IntelliCAD CDs.
"Columbus 2.4a will take document management even further," says Alec Milton of Oasys.
"Columbus is the system of choice for over 7500 companies, with up to 30 more switching over to Columbus each day.
People are finding that its easy document control and data exchange is just what they need." Surya Sarda, CEO of CADopia adds: "Columbus is a very popular document management system without the complexities of the traditional document management system.
Adding Columbus to IntelliCAD provides our users with an unbeatable range of powerful solutions at an affordable price.
We are pleased to be working with Oasys to provide CADopia users with Columbus to meet their document management needs without the high cost associated with other document management software.".
