       ImageSite combines the best features of traditional document management with internet-based project collaboration. However, unlike a hosted collaboration solution, ImageSite installs on your corporate network so your important engineering files, business documents, e-mail, and other intellectual property are always under your secure control.

     ImageSite provides a secure environment to organize, store, version control your documents. As new versions of documents are checked into the system, the previous version is automatically archived with any notes, comments or markups made earlier.

      ImageSite is affordable, very comprehensive, and can be fully implemented in just a matter of days. ImageSite was designed from the ground up for engineering use.
       ImageSite's web-based design allows all authorized users to access engineering content with only a web browser.
  • Integrated web viewer provides quick access to AutoCAD, Micro- Station, SolidWorks, Scanned files, Microsoft Office files, PDF files, and more.
  • Uses AutoDesk technology to directly read AutoCAD files, synchronize with title block information, determine reference files and link them correctly in a secure, revision controlled repository.
  •  

    CAD File Management
    Use ImageSite for version control of active CAD files as engineers and drafters check-out and revise engineering designs. Use ImageSite Work-flow for automated change management to route documents and markups for review and approval. Workflow is a flowchart-based, schedule-driven capability with automatic notifications.

     

    "Released" Document Management
    Use ImageSite for "Released Document Management" with collaboration and distribution throughout your company and with customers, vendors or other outside users. Document control specialists manage the released repository while enabling widespread viewing and collaboration by others.

     

    A Collaboration Workspace
    Configure ImageSite as the place for users to find current project or product information and actively work together. Authorize users with a mix of view, markup, and revision rights to hold highly productive web-based conversations between users across the hallway or around the world.









    convenient explore-search capabilities ImageSite offers convenient "Explore" and "Search" interfaces to find the documents. An integrated web-browser viewer provides instant access to content.

    ImageSite User Access
    ImageSite security is easy to assign to individual users or groups. Settings include view, markup, download, and full rights. Documents automatically inherit the security of their parent folder.

    Send e-mail hot-links (URLs) to:

    Documents

    Document Sets

    Saved Searches

    Markups

    Documents are always secure since they never leave the ImageSite repository. All users must be authorized to access any document, even when using e-mail distribution links.

     

    Stop clogging up your network with emailed CAD file attachments!

  • Users simply send light weight email messages with hot links (URLs) to documents that they want others to see and use. Clicking on the ImageSite links automatically prompts the user for login/password information.

  • ImageSite offers extensive activity tracking that provides a complete audit of which users accessed which documents, when, and how.

     

    Create and send ImageSite Encapsulations for external users or disconnected end users.
