The ecoDMS major release announced for autumn 2016 is gradually coming closer. Today the software developers have revealed more highly interesting details about the scope of functions. The new ecoDMS version will be able to full-text index email attachments automatically and then store them in ecoDMS together with the message. Moreover, in future it will be possible to link various files in ecoDMS.

Storing emails and their attachments will become even more convenient with the new ecoDMS release. When archiving emails in ecoDMS, attachments will be stored as a direct link with the message. The advantage for users is that an email and its attachments can be displayed and opened in sequence in the ecoDMS table. Currently, attachments can only be retrieved via the original EML file within the version management. Moreover, for the first time automatic full-text indexing of the attached file will be carried out in the background. This will enable the quick retrieval of readable email attachments via the full-text search.

As a further highlight, ecoDMS announces the new linking function. Often there are different files that belong to the same process. As of the next ecoDMS major release, it will be possible to link these files directly with each other. In the ecoDMS table any number of other archived files, including their classifications, can be added to a document and combined to form one process.

The new ecoDMS major release will be released in autumn 2016. However, licences are not yet available. ecoDMS GmbH will announce the exact release date in the coming weeks. Until then the motto will need to be to wait, because anticipation is half the fun!

A glance at the innovations revealed to date shows: ecoDMS users can really look forward to a great version with many interesting features:

• Fresh colours, new icons and a flat, modern "material design" give a new radiance to the archiving system.
• The merger of ecoDMS and ecoICE will further optimise the archiving steps.
• Linking several documents will allow the grouping of different files.
• Email attachments can in future be full-text indexed and stored together with the email.
• The already valid "life-long licence price guarantee" enables all ecoDMS customers access to a constant and absolutely fair licence price.

In times of modern communication and mobile technology, being available at any time and having data, facts and information readily available at your fingertips plays a very important role. The old-fashioned letter in paper form is increasingly being replaced by digital e-mails, electronic messaging services and web technologies. Nevertheless, a large share of all documents from digital or conventional origin must be stored over many years and must be made available to the responsible roles.

ecoDMS is the first archiving software which does not only archive and manage data quickly and easily, but is also extremely low-cost and accessible from everywhere via PC, mobile phone, tablet or internet browser. The ecoDMS software goes with the times and makes modern, efficient data management at an affordable price available to everyone. ecoDMS is the lowest-priced and fastest archiving system of all times. For private users ecoDMS is completely free with less functionality. A licence for the full version is available at 49 Euros on the manufacturer's website.

In this DMS solution any type of paper document and digital data can be saved audit-proof to a central archive, managed professionally and retrieved within seconds. A powerful recognition wizard automatically assigns and archives the files. Paper is transferred to ecoDMS through scanning. Digital data, such as e-mails, letters, tables, agreements, invoices and many more, is stored in the archive just as quickly with a few mouse clicks. For MS Office, OpenOffice and LibreOffice, the ecoDMS full version additionally contains dedicated plugins. They allow direct archiving as PDF/A file and original document from the respective applications. The original file can be edited and saved as a new version if required. Convenient e-mail archiving is also available for Thunderbird and Outlook with a dedicated add-on.

Being a client-server system, ecoDMS saves all data in a database. This is configured automatically during the installation of ecoDMS and is located on site at the customer. Server and database experience is not required. The archived documents can be retrieved at lightning speed via smart phone, tablet, web browser and client server. The fully automatic and integrated OCR full-text indexing function reads every readable file and makes searching for documents as easy as googling. It is sufficient for users to access the archive and access their documents from anywhere they like. The entire archive can be configured according to the user's requirements. Be it matching document types with fixed retention periods, user-defined folder structures and permissions, or specific classification attributes: ecoDMS leaves no wish to be desired.

Archiving software varies in features and functions. In most cases, the more functions there are, the higher the price. This is not the case with ecoDMS. ecoDMS is the first archiving system to go entirely new ways. The software is the best value archiving solution in the world with a full scope of functions. The clever combination of mature open source modules, state-of-the-art customisations, elaborate user information and web-based sales enable the unique price of 49 Euros per licence. There is no need for service or support agreements. A licence is purchased once and may then be used for any period of time. For technical or content questions customers receive support directly from the manufacturer. Although support is not included in the licence price, it can be purchased as an option for a small fee if required. Moreover, ecoDMS offers all customers and prospective users free training videos and extensive documentation material on their website.

ecoDMS can be installed on a server under Windows, Ubuntu, Debian, Raspbian and as Docker Image with NAS support for Synology and QNAP. The programme interface is available for Windows, Ubuntu, Debian, MacOS, web browsers, Android and IOS. The software is available for free download with a 30-day demo phase at www.ecodms.de.

The ecoDMS document archive is intended for the audit-proof storage of paper documents and digital data over a long period of time. The software is ideal for virtually any type of user due to its platform-independence, adaptability and fair pricing. Private users, small to medium-sized companies and large corporations can implement professional document management with ecoDMS. The full version is available at 49 Euros gross per licence.

Archiving with ecoDMS is user-friendly and convenient. Documents on the file system can easily be dragged and dropped into the archive. The full version contains plugins and add-ons for Microsoft Office, LibreOffice and OpenOffice. Through these plugins and add-ons, documents created in Office can be saved directly to the ecoDMS archive. ecoDMS stores the original Office file and also creates an audit-proof PDF/A document. The Office file can be edited via the integrated version management and archived as a new version in ecoDMS.

For e-mail archiving ecoDMS also has its add-ons. Incoming and outgoing emails can be archived directly from Thunderbird and MS Outlook with the respective ecoDMS mail add-on. Users can select which parts of the e-mail they want to archive in ecoDMS. E-mail attachments and pure e-mail content can be stored.

The virtual PDF/A printer from ecoDMS allows archiving from any software programme able to print. The PDF/A printer from ecoDMS can be selected in the printing function of the software application. The file is then saved to the archive as an audit-proof PDF/A document. The ecoDMS PDF/A printer can be configured as required. For example, a letterhead can be configured as a background for the PDF. Existing printing devices can also be addressed. It is also possible to configure different print profiles and more printing functions. A particular highlight is dummy text recognition and the dark process. With the printer it is possible to perform automated archiving processes from external programmes.

Automatic archiving and document classification are significant features of ecoDMS. Documents stored in ecoDMS can be automatically assigned according to specified attributes and also archived without requiring manual intervention from the user. This is made possible by the intelligent ecoDMS template designer. This makes the classification and archiving processes easy to automate and optimise. The system automatically assigns the matching folder, the responsible person, the status, and many more classification attributes.

Virtually all file formats can be archived in ecoDMS. Retrieving the stored data and information is particularly easy with the archiving software. Every readable file is full-text indexed during archiving. The recognised characters, text and information make searching for documents as easy as googling. Based on the full-text information and the classification attributes, you can perform any kind and number of search requests. The matching documents are immediately displayed on the workstation.

To ensure that the documents can only be viewed and edited by the person who is responsible and authorised, ecoDMS offers the assignment of separate access permissions for each file and each existing folder. This ensures the privacy of documents.

The ecoDMS full version offers everything that makes a DMS invaluable: A programme for incoming e-mail processing of scanned paper documents, an archiving interface with clear document administration, plugins and add-ons for Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Thunderbird and Outlook, a PDF/A printer for archiving from any application that can print, numerous search functions, integrated and fully automatic OCR full-text indexing, version management, comprehensive settings, user and group management, connections to Active Directory and LDAP, a browser-based web interface, mobile apps for smartphone and tablet, and much more.

QNAP and NAS devices that support virtualisation can also be used. The full version is activated with a licence code. The licence can be purchased at www.ecodms.de. Documentation, product information and training videos are available on the website.
