Product
editSimilar to other document management programs, the firm's product, Fortis, provides life-cycle management for paper and electronic documents, including the functions of capturing and indexing information, archiving data, retrieving information, distribution, and automated purging. The product features full text and index search as well as Desktop Search, which allows users to search documents from their desktop.
Multiple users may access and view the same document for editing purposes such as copying, cutting, pasting, annotating, enhancing, deleting, reordering, or drawing freehandedly on the documents; the software protects against simultaneous revisions. The software is capable of workflow options with built-in notifications and electronic routing so participants can see what steps they are responsible for completing next. It can integrate with line of business (LOB) applications, such as accounts payable/receivable, customer relationship management and case management systems. It provides audit logs to allow administrators to keep track of user activities on a specific document. [1].
