Document management is made easy with Microsoft Windows integration. Today marks a milestone for ColumbiaSoft; 11 years in Microsoft's network of partners! Our work with Microsoft is important. Virtually everything we do is based on the Microsoft architecture. Our document management software is embedded into Windows. It is built on SQL. It is integrated into the Office applications.

Managing procedures can be a real challenge. This is especially true if your program is paper-based. But even if your procedures are electronic, if you don't have the necessary document control practices in place, you are probably still challenged with keeping the correct versions up to date and chasing down approvals. ColumbiaSoft Solutions Engineer Dave Howell recently covered the subject of...
Engineers at ColumbiaSoft are busy polishing up big enhancements for Document Locator in advance of the next version release, code-named Project Rainier (and officially known as version 7.0). Anticipation is growing, especially for one new update in particular: the complete re-launch of WebTools.

Luckily, we're hosting a Coffee Break & AP Automation demo tomorrow--so if you'd like a chance to warm up,...

Writing the letters felt a little ironic, given that we’re a business that takes people paperless. It’s different, however, when it’s an intelligent, direct communication, rather than a piece of internal bureaucracy....
Every business must pay their bills. But it’s surprising how inefficiently the task is tackled at most companies. To be fair, it’s not easy. Invoices arrive any day of the week, at all hours of the day. Sometimes they arrive at a central location; sometimes they arrive at separate office locations all around the country. They may come by fax, email,...
Security of data is important to an organization for many reasons. Some resources are only used by a small portion of users, some resources contain sensitive information, and still others are resources which are used by many people, but perhaps not meant to be modified by the general user. All of these scenarios, and many more, are fully controllable by...
