FileVision, provider of office productivity software,  announced the release of the new 4.5 version of its FileVision solution. FileVision 4.5 gives customers an enhanced custom relationship management (CRM) component for increased search, administration and workflow functionality; a new web client for access from any web browser; and an Application Integrator module for increased data access and usability between other integrated software solutions.  FileVision’s new features will help customers further increase efficiency and productivity, while eliminating expenses associated with data integration issues.

“With the new FileVision 4.5, we’re providing our small- and medium-sized business (SMB) customers the ability to decrease expenses incurred by integration projects with other software they’re using and in some cases eliminate the need to purchase separate software such as a CRM solution. FileVision 4.5 customers will have an all-in-one solution for many of their office productivity needs,” said Darin Davis, VP of product development, FileVision.

The new FileVision Web 2.0 AJAX client in 4.5 will enable customers to access their FileVision solution anywhere from a web browser with increased performance and usability enhancements. The new FileVision Application Integrator module will eliminate problematic and expensive integration issues SMBs face when using a solution like FileVision with proprietary software such as accounting, records management systems and other line of business applications.

“With many proprietary systems – especially in healthcare and finance – it is difficult for users to integrate and correlate information stored in that system with other solutions. FileVision strives to provide our customers with a solution that can be used as a holistic management system or seamless enhancement to their existing technology and business processes,” said Davis.

The FileVision solution, which offers end-to-end information management by relationally linking data from electronic files with paper documents, also processes action items through a workflow manager and enables secure and easy search access to the information.  In the new 4.5 version, additional advancements have been made to each of the following seven integral components of FileVision:

Profiler – The custom relationship management module of FileVision. It offers complete flexibility through the creation of unlimited data sets that can be linked to documents. These data sets provide user-definable fields used for searching and reporting. Documents, notes and actions can be linked to each record. The profiler also provides the ability to push documents and data to other users.

Document Manager - Provides a graphically intuitive interface that automates the management of documents and their versioning, auditing and archive. Annotations, color-coded document status and multiple levels of security serve to round out the feature-rich document management system.         

Imaging Manager - Input management offers capture of multiple documents, making the job of document preparation and scanning easy.
 
Workflow Manager - Automates and monitors internal procedures, allowing critical path processes to be assigned to documents. With user-definable fields and flexible options, workflows can be easily configured for existing processes and provide improved and efficient task management along with multiple levels of accountability and control.

Search - Provides instant access to information through multiple search tools for documents, content, relationships and data. Documents can be quickly and easily found through user-defined key words and criteria or through full-text search. Relationship-centric searches can be performed using the powerful relationship manager search tool.

e-Forms -  The e-forms designer provides the ability to set up template forms. An electronic form eliminates the need for scanning documents and can be pre-populated using data from FileVision.

Application Integrator - Gives users the ability to pull data from another application without the expense of custom integration. This data can be used to search for a document, index a document or populate and search the profiler, eliminating the time consuming task of data entry.
