The release of Archive Studio software as a service (SaaS), online Web-based content management providing remote document access, permissions, printing and distribution has been announced by DocuLex (http://www.doculex.com ). This service enables secure document warehousing and sharing for practical knowledge management and colleague collaboration.

Marketing Director of DocuLex, Tim Nissen, stated: "The service was created for organizations with limited IT resources, and a need to share documents among multiple offices, other companies or the public, as well as for record centers that are warehousing business documents, enabling their availability digitally through the Internet for client access."

Archive Studio SaaS is facilitated by a component of the Archive Studio designed to allow sharing of document collections over the Internet, called WebSearch. Including scanned paper converted to PDF and electronically created files in their native formats (including email with attachments), users are presented with a custom portal design specifically to their content management needs. Secure document access is a key component to the architecture of this hosting offering, with encrypted site access and SSL protection.

Service companies, small businesses, large corporations and government agencies can consolidate document management software to one product when hosting document collections for various divisions and clients. Without the costs and responsibility associates with owning and supporting a document management system, Internet access to documents is available, anytime and anywhere.

DocuLex Archive Studio includes browser-based content management facilitator WebSearch, automated distributed capture and image processing software Goby Capture, and production capture-image processing programs Professional Capture and Office Capture.
