NOVATO, CA – Feb. 7, 2002 — Matrix Logic Corporation, one of the premier integrators of Hummingbird document management systems, announced today that it has released the first iteration of eRoom Service for DOCS, the first seamless and secure integration between Hummingbird document management systems and the eRoom digital collaboration platform.
eRoom Service for DOCS by Matrix Logic extends an organization's Hummingbird document management system (DOCS Open or PowerDOCS) to allow for seamless integration with the web-based eRoom collaboration product. Using this software integration, users can (1) copy or check-in documents between DOCS and eRoom, (2) publish references to DOCS-based documents in eRoom and (3) grant limited access for external users to open or edit specific DOCS-based documents. Data passes between eRoom and DOCS using XML over HTTP/HTTPS, and thus network administrators do not need to modify firewall configurations to implement this solution.
"In the past, sharing documents typically involved removing an electronic file from a document management system, printing and sending the printed copy to another party and then revisiting the electronic file in the DMS for revisions – often producing duplication that results in delays, confusion and inefficiency" noted Stephen Page, President of Matrix Logic Corporation. "eRoom Service for DOCS by Matrix Logic helps organizations enhance their relationships with external partners and customers by providing secure access to critical documents for project collaboration directly from the Document Menu in DOCS."
"Online collaboration beyond the firewall is quickly becoming a business requirement for leading organizations" said Barry Ruditsky, Vice President of Business Development for eRoom Technology, Inc. "eRoom Service for DOCS allows an organization to easily and securely extend enterprise document management to partners and customers on a project basis without re-architecting the organization's network or allowing external users to pass through the company's firewall."
