Alexya: Moving from Thought to Action!
Background
Since the beginning of the 90’s, countless solutions have been developed to address the various content management issues organizations face. Electronic records management, imaging, Web content management, Workflows, and electronic forms, among other strategies, have been implemented within organizations at the departmental level. In the beginning, all of these components worked in silos.
Looking Ahead
The advent of SharePoint has enabled organizations to implement a mature platform offering an integrated approach to content management, collaboration, portals, lookup, and various other aspects that are an integral part of an enterprise solution.
The Challenge
SharePoint is a development platform offering basic services. Alexya offers a wide range of functionalities to make up for SharePoint’s limitations in terms of enterprise content management. Alexya’s functionalities are also needed to elaborate our in-a-box solutions or your own.
Summary of Alexya’s Functionalities
Alexya may be used to address your specific needs or to complement our in-a-box solutions. In order to maximize your investment, three different versions of Alexya are available. Here is a brief description of each of its features:

Metadata Manager |

One of the best practices in electronic document management consists of associating metadata to documents in order to retrieve them easily. The metadata manager functionality allows you to duplicate a folder’s metadata onto each document it contains and apply specific security on desired column. In addition, you can use this functionality to elaborate a metadata management strategy in the tree structure of the SharePoint library. more >> |
