  • Installation Procedures

    My team was looking for a document management system and the objective of this project is quite simple and in fact it's small scale and target for about 10-20 end users only. We want to have a document management system, starting from scanning paper documents, indexing, editing, archiving, searching and off site storing only, a distributor came to my company and show us a product by the IMR last week.

I know it's free and I do respect the organizer to put these materials online, but it's really hard for me to keep on watching this great stuff!
