To make it easier to share and manage documents using the new
imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital
imaging and office solutions, today introduced imageWARE Document
Server, a document management application designed to expand upon the
sophisticated collaborative capabilities of the new imageRUNNER ADVANCE
Series.
imageWARE Document Server represents the server component of a
comprehensive collaboration and document management solution. The newly
announced imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series of multifunction devices
incorporates an abundant collection of features designed to facilitate
collaboration and sharing of documents. To fully take advantage of this
technology and to extend the interaction of the powerful MFP to desktop
users, Canon also introduced imageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop utility
software on the new imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series. Users can utilize
imageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop for desktop publishing, remote device
monitoring and personal document storage/management activities. When
using the software for personal document management activities, the
addition of imageWARE Document Server will enable the same users to
share documents with other personnel in workgroups or departments within
their organization.
imageWARE Document Server is a server application that simply connects
the imageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop utility and enables workers to
collaborate and share information in a networked environment. imageWARE
Document Server incorporates a variety of popular document management
functions, such as Check In/Check Out, Version Control, Full Text
Search, Audit Trail and User Index Search. imageWARE Document Server was
developed using Windows SharePoint Services, Microsoft’s popular and
reliable collaboration platform, helping to make the system easy to
deploy and enable IT administrators to easily manage and configure the
system from any personal computer using a Web browser.
“The new imageWARE Document Server will help to further extend the
information reach of knowledge workers to the departmental level,” said
Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group,
Canon U.S.A. “The combination of imageWARE Document Server and the
advanced desktop and device functionality built into the new imageRUNNER
ADVANCE Series will allow workers to easily share and manage information
and documents with co-workers.”
imageWARE Document Server, licensed on a per server basis, is expected
to be available for purchase and shipment during the fourth quarter of
this year through Canon authorized dealers and Canon Business Solutions
locations. Suggested retail pricing for the software will be made
available at the time of product shipment.
