Docova 2.6 Release  

Just a quick Note about our new release.  It has lots of useful functionality, driven by customer feedback over the past year.  Here is a brief summary.  The release Notes will be posted very soon.

From your Notes email you can select a smarticon and access the library and folder structure.  Clicking on documents and attachments imports them into the body of the email.  You have the option to PDF these, and even create a searchable PDF.  This allows you to email the actual container document, rather than just the attachment.

Some financial applications require the ability to provide customers with their information on portable media.  With 2.6 you can export documents in batch mode to the file system.


Docova has always had the ability to access email.  Now you can use the search feature to locate the emails, rather than having to browse the mail folders.  The same search capability is available when you are linking documents together.  


The key to a successful doc mgt implementation is finding what you are looking for.  Docova now has Cloud Tag search capability.  This visual search method is in many ways more intuitive than typing in a search query.  Docova is different, in that the folder manager has the ability to define the order of search.  You may want to search by location, by product type..etc.  The next time you search, you may want to change the order, or search using other meta data.  Docova allows you to define what meta data is included in the search, and the order, giving the user control over the cloud tag and the ability to find what they are looking for with less effort.


Performance has been improved.  You can now target meta data to specific libraries, making folder views more efficient.   There is a new rich text editor and much more.

Those are some of the more significant enhancements.  What I like is the usability aspect. Small improvements have made Docova even more user friendly.

Going Global 

Our Docova partner community is growing.  New DLI.tools partners have joined in the UK, Netherlands, Italy, Monaco and other locations around the world.  I think the ability to develop relationships and friendships with individuals is the most exciting part of what we do.  

My day will often start on a Skype call with someone in the UK or China, and finish with a web meeting with someone in Australia.  I can be in the car (parked at the side of the road of course), in the office, or taking advantage of a hotspot at a coffee pub.  The old paradigm of heading in to work has lost its meaning. The office is a place to put the servers.

Years ago I used to work for a traditional reseller, providing hardware and services to customers in a fixed sales region.  I met up with someone I had worked with years ago, who was essentially doing the same thing.  Comments were made about how tough business was these days.  I guess it would be, if you did not have access to markets around the world.

Met vriendelijke groet
