DocuWare plans to deprecate existing web services (and all GAPI support on which the current SOAP web services are based) in their version 6.8. No date for the release of version 6.8 as of yet, but would predict it would be out 4th quarter 2015 or 1st quarter 2016. So if you have existing applications based on DocuWare Web Services, it is time to migrate to Docuware’s REST Web Services that were released with DocuWare version 6.1. Fore-warned is Fore-armed.

DocuWare 6.7 has now been released.

Improving the user experience remains a top focus for DocuWare. This means the system can be introduced with little training at a customer’s and user acceptance is immediate. For example, the lazy loading process in Windows Explorer Client means that folders and documents are displayed more quickly. Only a portion of a document is loaded to begin with; the remainder can be added if needed. This process minimizes a user‘s wait time and helps ensure higher satisfaction.

Other Highlights of DocuWare Version 6.7:

• Search through multiple file cabinets in Web Client
• Viewer with integrated index dialog as new display option
• Capture index data from document with one click
• Performance improvement when storing with Connect to Outlook
• Email notifications with attached document in Workflow Manager
• Improved user interface for Workflow Designer
• Import of Request containers
• Improved Scan quality for PaperScan App
• Mobile Apps can be connected via QR-code with DocuWare system

In addition, with Connect to Ricoh Version 2 there’s a new module for connecting over 250 types of Ricoh and comparable multi-function units. The configuration is handled centrally within DocuWare Configuration; even the installation on the devices can be managed directly from there. Filing with the scanner is made extra easy with select lists that appear right on the device’s display.

New Windsor NY, – October 20, 2014 – DocuWare, a global leader in Document Management, has released the newest version of its document management system, Version 6.6. This web-based solution now includes a number of improvements in areas of workflow management and email program integration.

With Version 6.6, the Windows Explorer Client App, Connect to Outlook module and Workflow Manager were retooled and enhanced with a variety of helpful features. Early 2014, DocuWare released Version 6.5 which featured a new design – the intuitive interface made it easier for users to tackle routine tasks with a totally web-based document management system.

The Windows Explorer Client App offers document management within the familiar folder structure of Windows Explorer mirroring storage of documents on a server network drive. Users can now either store an invoice by clicking down into the folder of choice or simply move a document by drag & drop into the central document pool – the path of the target folder will automatically be used as one of the index terms for the document saving on manual entry. Direct storage in an electronic archive, such as an A/P invoice generated by ERP software, as well as any editing of documents, is as easy and familiar as working with Windows Explorer.

The interface of the Connect to Outlook module was also updated to reflect the new DocuWare design and made more user-friendly – this means that email can be processed even more quickly. For example, access to store/search configurations can be accessed directly out of Connect to Outlook. With Connect to Mail in Version 6.6, email from Google Mail may be optionally stored in original EML format or as a PDF (archiving in EML speeds up the storage process).

With DocuWare Workflow Manager, detailed rules can be configured for guiding document-based business processes. This means that tasks can be assigned to employees or departments, measures can be incorporated for employee vacations/absences, and all processes can be closely monitored. In the new version, authorization processes (such as approving an invoice payment) can be handled faster through more efficient electronic stamping of multiple documents. The most urgent tasks can be highlighted in red for quick review and it is now possible to integrate document content stored in DocuWare as well as related task lists to another applications.

Focus on the User

New Windsor NY, March 5, 2014 – A year after launching Version 6, DocuWare is releasing its next version, 6.5, of this completely Web-based document management solution. The simplified and comfortable user-interface makes working with the system easier than before. The Web Client is now completely based on HTML5 which offers enhanced performance that’s primed for the future.

The more complex software is, the more important that it is intuitive to use. When the look and feel is well-crafted, users have an easier time navigating and working efficiently. For document management specialist DocuWare, the entire focus when developing Version 6.5 was about enhancing the user experience. The results are easy to see with the new user-interface; very little training is needed to work with the system. New users can easily find their way around the intuitive features. Existing customers will also enjoy the benefits of the update. For example, their daily work is simplified when, depending on the task, certain features are automatically displayed, while anything unnecessary is hidden in the background – leaving more space for what matters. The fresh, modern design is pleasant to work with; its clarity makes organization more straightforward.
