Andrews Software and Image Fortress to Deliver Integrated Solution for Records Management
Image Fortress Corporation and Andrews Software, Inc. announced
today that they have partnered to market an integrated solution
for managing corporate and government records stored in records
centers and digital archives. With this integrated solution, Andrews
Software customers will be able to perform a single search, from
a desktop PC web browser, to locate, access and retrieve records
that are being stored either in paper or electronic format.
As organizations move from archiving vital information in paper
format to storing these records electronically, locating the correct
records in a timely fashion becomes increasingly important though
much more difficult now that records can be either paper or digital.
Currently, searching for paper and digital records is a two-step
process. Through the combination of InfoKeeper™ and DigitalFortress™,
customers will be able to simultaneously search for and access
records that are stored in paper at one or more records centers
or in the DigitalFortress archive service.
“Our customers want to begin digital archiving, but will not replace all of their paper records”, said Lee Miller, president of Andrews Software. “They have asked us to provide a digital archiving capability as an enhancement to our existing InfoKeeper product. DigitalFortress provides important archiving automations and delivers the flexibility, security, records integrity and robust search capabilities our customers need, and is a perfect complement to InfoKeeper.”
“We are excited to be partnering with Andrews Software, the leading provider of web-based physical records management services, and introduce digital archiving to their 650 corporate customers”, said Bob Pokress, president of Image Fortress. “Andrews Software was founded on the principal of helping customers manage, locate and retrieve important records quickly and easily. Combining the powerful electronic archiving features of DigitalFortress with the industry-leading capabilities of InfoKeeper gives customers, for the first time, a powerful tool to manage their entire archive of vital records, both electronic and paper, as a single, unified repository.”
InfoKeeper enables customers with a web browser and proper security to fully manage their paper records. Capabilities include: search, retrieval, data entry, custom reporting (no need for the records center to print and deliver), and ordering services such as document destruction and item pick-up and return.
DigitalFortress is a comprehensive, Web-based electronic document
and records management service that guarantees records integrity
over the entire life of an archived electronic record. All digital
records, including documents, e-mail, forms, rich media, images,
graphics, multi media documents, audio, and video can be stored
in a single, integrated archive. Its customizable meta-data architecture,
including automated text indexing and linking of related documents,
facilitates quick and comprehensive document search and retrieval
from a user’s desktop.
