United Planet Launches Online Document Management System

November 17 2008: European enterprise software developer United Planet has announced the launch of its new web-based Intrexx Xtreme Document Management software, which it says is the first in a series of ready-to-use online applications in the pipeline.

The company says the software is aimed at helping companies implement new projects quickly and cost-effectively, with Intrexx able to centralise storage and access for all documents via a single Enterprise Portal.

“Large-scale document management systems (DMS) tend to be very expensive and have lengthy implementation times,” says Alexander Marsch, managing director of United Planet. “Many companies have not been able to afford an investment in a large-scale DMS solution to date. United Planet’s web-based Document Management application is not a direct competitor for these solutions but it does offer a reasonably priced alternative for mid-sized companies that would like to take a more formal and fast approach to document management.”

United says that Intrexx’s dedicated user management system enables administrators to define exactly which employees can place documents on the portal, and sets clear rules for editing and rights for access throughout the company.

United says that integrating document management into an Enterprise Portal will enable companies to improve a variety of business processes by incorporating documents into different workflows and applications used across the organisation.

Marsch says that United’s new applications will enable more organisations to benefit from solutions that have previously been out of reach, and has targeted the offering at medium-sized organisations with a once-off fee of £699 (AU$1,5660) for an unlimited user licence.
