Fixed Content Management for Mid-Market

Today, Dec 2004

Document archiving solutions provider Information Management Research (IMR - www.imrgold.com) has released Alchemy 8.0. Aimed at mid-market organizations, the fixed content management suite offers a solution that intersects document management, records management, and information lifecycle management.

The Alchemy 8.0 product suite handles multiple types of fixed content such as images, e-mail, PDFs, CAD files, MS Office files and COLD/ERM. The entire information lifecycle is managed with workflow and records management processes that control capture, management, archiving, retrieval, distribution, and finally, destruction.

"The majority of the unstructured content in an organization is 'fixed' content - that is, content in its final form," explains Richard Medina, principal analyst at technology consulting and research firm Doculabs (www.doculabs.com). "Organizations are under more pressure than ever before to manage this content effectively, not only for compliance and risk reduction purposes, but also to improve operational efficiency and productivity while reducing costs. IMR's solution, handles a range of fixed content management applications. It's a straightforward implementation that makes sense for mid-market organizations with limited IT resources," Medina adds.
