REPOSITORY
The Repository is where the files are stored. Due to the open architecture of the software many types of Repositories are supported. For example, you may prefer a client/server environment. Or, you may prefer a web based deployment. Or, you may want both. An analysis of the document types and the associated business processes will help in selecting the environment that works best for you. In addition, a key component in making a Repository decision is the method of retrieval. You may prefer folder navigation. You may want to retrieve files by entering a “key word” (Content Management). Or, you may want to access a database by “indexes” or tags. Or, you may want to use all three retrieval options.
Finally, you may want to use the Repository for functions such as workflow processing, collaboration, scheduling or task management. You may need the ability to “check out” a file so that no one can change it, or you may require folder/file security, or access reporting. Some of the repository functionality is available in conjunction with our WorldSoft Document Management LAN or WEB software.
These are just some of the many issues to consider when selecting software for managing your Repository.
