SpringCM Announces New Version Of Platform
July 28, 2009 — SAN MATEO, CA — New release enhances management reporting, process automation and solutions deployment features of market leading SaaS ECM Platform
SpringCM™ Inc., the leader in on-demand document management and workflow solutions, today announced the immediate availability of the newest version of its SaaS-based enterprise content management platform. The new release contains 36 new features and enhancements designed to improve management visibility into content processes and the packaging and delivery of SpringCM based applications by partners. Major new features introduced in this release of the SpringCM platform include:
Custom Dashboards – This feature adds new graphical reporting capabilities and enables SpringCM users to configure the SpringCM dashboard contents and layout to match the needs of a specific application. Any SpringCM custom report may now be displayed as part of a dashboard and users may choose from several different layout options for how these reports are displayed on the page. Together these enhancements provide new real-time insights into content processes and the status of individual or group metrics.
Enhanced Document Rules – Document Rules, introduced in 2008, have been a popular feature for rapid automation of document processes. New rule types introduced in this release, allow a document rule to notify another system of changes to documents in the SpringCM repository. For example an ERP system can now be notified when an invoice is approved for payment or a CRM system can be notified when a new customer fax or e mail is received, etc. Rapid configurable integration between SpringCM and other systems enables a new level of cost effective process automation without the need for custom programming.
Solution Packaging – SpringCM introduced application cloning in 2008, which enables entire configured applications to be duplicated and distributed to new customers or to divisions within a company. With this release, SpringCM takes this capability to a new level with solution packaging. Users may now create custom "packages" of specific features – for example, two reports and an associated workflow - and package those features so that they may be imported to any other SpringCM application. This new level of granularity allows for existing applications to be updated with new features, for users within an organization or between companies to share best practice "applets" for small processes like document matching, industry specific metadata models, routing or workflows and much more.
SpringCM customer, Herndon, Virginia-based Nationwide Processing, is enthusiastic about the new platform features. According to Guru Amrit, CEO, “As a business process outsourcer, we depend on the speed and accuracy of business process execution. Document management and workflow are crucial components of our ability to deliver services, but it is also extremely important that we have a full and timely view of the benefits we provide to our customers. The new Dashboard and other features will help us to accomplish this.”
The newest release of SpringCM also includes: compliance improvement through auditable user access justification; advance workflow enrichment; PDF handling and viewing; upgrades to the user creation process; preview page improvements; user interface enhancements; and increases to the back-end and database performance.
Eric Wilson, Vice President of Technology for Dallas, Texas-based Harding Group, stated, "I have been very impressed with SpringCM’s response to partner enhancement requests. The solution packaging and access justification features of the new release are especially important to us. We are happy to be a Solutions Central partner and look forward to delivering enhanced solutions built on the SpringCM ECM platform that take full advantage of these new capabilities."
"SpringCM continues to pave the way for organizations who want to make ECM truly effective for the end users," said Dan Carmel, CEO, SpringCM. "Our dashboard enhancements enable end users and managers to make more effective business decisions, while solutions packaging makes it easier than ever to share best practices with or between organizations. Together the enhancements enable a new level of capability and management for content centric applications and demonstrate how SpringCM and SaaS enable rapid, significant innovation that brings substantial new value to customers and partners alike."
