Oasys, the software house of consulting engineers and designers Arup, has released version 2.4a of its free document management system Columbus.
Building on the strengths of what is now believed to be the world's most popular document management system of its kind, Columbus 2.4a includes new features that make organising and sharing data even easier.
It also incorporates new viewing filters providing support for Microsoft Office XP (including canvas object and ESHR graphics), Outlook 2002, Corel WordPerfect Office 2002, Lotus SmartSuite Millennium Edition 9.6, Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and Visio 2002.
Columbus is novel not only because it is free but also because it is a simple system that can be used by different types of companies of all sizes.
Indeed any organisation that needs to unite data from different parts of its working environment without the complexities of traditional document management systems can use Columbus.
And to make Columbus available to more people, Arup has teamed up with CADopia, a developer and provider of professional cad software, to provide Columbus on its IntelliCAD CDs.
"Columbus 2.4a will take document management even further", says Alec Milton of Oasys.
"Columbus is the system of choice for over 7500 companies, with up to 30 more switching over to Columbus each day.
People are finding that its easy document control and data exchange is just what they need".
Surya Sarda, CEO of CADopia adds: "Columbus is a very popular document management system without the complexities of the traditional document management system.
Adding Columbus to IntelliCAD provides our users with an unbeatable range of powerful solutions at an affordable price.
We are pleased to be working with Oasys to provide CADopia users with Columbus to meet their document management needs without the high cost associated with other document management software".
