This week, even with Labor Day weekend approaching there are a few notable releases. Vizit has announced the release of v5 that enhances document management in SharePoint, Microsoft has announced Office 2013 On Demand, M-Files announced SkyDrive support for v9.0 and Parascript upgrades FormXtra toolkit.
M-Files v9.0 With SkyDrive
This week, M-Files announced that the v9.0 of M-Files supports SkyDrive. This means that on top of all the existing collaboration features of the M-Files enterprise content management system, users will also be able to review and edit documents using the co-authoring features of SkyDrive.
The addition of SkyDrive support effectively surmounts the problems associated with sharing documents and other content with third parties by enabling those who don’t have access to M-Files, such as customers, partners and contractors, access the content contained in M-Files through SkyDrive.
And as SkyDrive is accessible through any device, including PCs, tablets and smartphones, it means users can collaborate on content while on the move without having to resort to email and associated attachments.
Co-authoring, as a result, will be possible through all Office applications or through WebApps even if Office is not installed locally.
There is other collaboration features available in this new version of M-Files, including better mobile access, search, cloud and hybrid cloud deployments, and long-term archiving. The beta version of M-Files 9.0 is currently available, while the full launch is scheduled for late September.
Parascript Upgrades FormXtra
Also this week Parascript has announced that it is releasing a new version of its FormXtra software toolkit that will enable developers to integrate forms with better accuracy.
FormXtra SDK 5.0 locates key data in machine print, hand print and cursive script enabling organizations to extract the important information. While earlier versions were also able to do this, Parascript says this version offers extraction possibility for a wider range of forms.
Using Parascript’s recognition technology, FormXtra SDK 5.0 can even take information from batches and process images that do not match existing templates. It also offers capabilities for the recognition of tables that may not be discreetly defined like transactional data found on invoices or other business documents.
Vizit v5.0 Released
For content visualization this week, Vizit, which provides search, and social collaboration solutions for SharePoint announced the general availability of Vizit 5.
With it, SharePoint users can find documents and specific passages or exhibits within documents, and share those portions of content in any collaborative SharePoint workspace. It also integrates document management into Yammer, enabling users to bring content into their Yammer conversations.
While Vizit 4 introduced search previews that can be placed beside any search or list result in SharePoint, Vizit 5 extends search by offering Best Bets. This means that Vizit 5 applies the search terms to the document, opens the document to the most relevant pages, and using highlighted search terms, offers users the information they are looking for.
Collaboration also got a makeover in this version, as Vizit 5 offers the ability to create a reference point within a document and share an extract using features like Vizit Conversations or Social Footnote.
