A New Approach to Documents
Integrated Document management tools built
into Evolution provides on demand functionality for documents that bridge
the gap between documents and what happens with them. Documents are used in
relation to numerous events and actions within any company
including contacts, appointments, tasks, projects and Global Documents with open
access to all Employees to name several. Evolution's Document Management also
extends into Accounting functions for receivables and payables to track and
to scan in documents to accompany data entry.
Manage email attachments with easy to use tools within Evolution's
Email. Right click tools provide the ability to save any email
attachments directly to a hard drive or to save attachments as documents
directly from an email to a contact or project easily in just a few steps.
Examples: A sales representative can easily manage information
going to and from active Leads in a pipeline and save any emailed documents to
the contact file easily keeping contact records up to date. A Project Manager
can easily email a document to the Project team in just a few clicks with the
starting point being the highlighted document in Evolution. Accounts Payable can
easily scan in Bills accompanying data entry as checks are printed through
Evolution. The document management functionality extends throughout Evolution
for easy to use tools between documents and what needs to happen
with them.
Technology
Evolution's SQL database structure provides a high performance
solution to managing your documents with a data compression ratio of 12:1 with
consistent performance at 10:1. This means that the office based documents(Word,
Excel, PDFs) will compress so the space they take up in a
database is a fraction of the size. For example, a company with
50 gigs of documents will have a database that is approximately 5-6 gigs in
actual size.
Additional document types including AUTOCAD, Image files,
Photoshop files, video files can also be uploaded and thus easily shared.
They will not compress at the rate that most office based documents will
however, the document sharing tools and the right click tools for easy
communication and action will apply with all document types.
Evolution's security settings also allow interactions with
documents by specific characteristics. So, numerous documents may be a part of a
contacts file and based on an Employee's role will determine which
documents they may have access to and what actions can be done. Security
Settings for documents extend to:
-
Viewable Access
-
Editing Access
-
Printing Access
-
Download Access
-
Delete Access
Profiles within Evolution can be constructed with a variety of
combinations using the above mentioned option for each role within a
company.
An activity trail for all documents is also tracked within each
document so you will know who made a change and when. Each revision is tracked
by an elbowed change so you will see which version of a document is the most
recent without losing access to earlier revisions of
documents.

Management (slides) for more information.
Advanced Search Capabilities Saves You Time and Money
Evolution documents can be searched upon using our advanced document
searching and indexing technology. Searches on:
- File Name
- File Content
- File Type
- Changed dates
and more can all be done through Evolution in seconds.
Great Practices
Many organizations that switch to Evolution scan in all of their old paper
documentation into the software. They then put all of their old files in long
term storage. Doing this saves money and often vast amounts of real-estate
space. Only legally binding material needs to be stored in paper copy, and those
materials can easily be sent to a third party paper storage company. You will
always have digital copies of those documents directly in Evolution for your
rapid querying and referencing needs and all of your documents, even invoices
and receipts can be instantaneously shared with all of your staff in a
semi-disconnected state. This reality alone saves vast amounts of accounting
management time by removing the need to siphon through many piles of annual
purchase receipts. Everything is always stored in Evolution, and can be
referenced within seconds.
Complete Revision Management
A truly unique and important aspect of Evolution document management and team
collaboration is its "Revision History" features. When more than one staff
member is working on a file at a time, Evolution will automatically track by
their login signature who made what change, when it was changed and what level
of revision the document is in. At any point a staff member can reference older
revisions (prior to changes) to access old material. This feature is great for
working with legal documents, collaborative information and out dates many of
the document management software solutions on the market today. Evolution does
comply with all secure document communication standards therefore Evolution can
be used for transferral of sensitive information like:
- Hospital Records
- Legal Documents
- Even Classified Information
Evolution will automatically notify you if two people try to change the same
file at the same time and takes appropriate action to resolve any document
management collisions in an easy and strait foreword manner. We make complex
collaboration simple. Evolution is the best an only solution for any document
rich company or corporation.
Benefits:
- Never loose a file again
- Keep track of "who changed what" at all times
- Protect your documents from theft or hijacking
- Evolution works with your present document managers like Microsoft Word.
You do not have to replace this software package; you simply just 'Evolve' it.
Our staff will show you how.
Evolution's unique collision management technology is used everywhere within
the software therefore if two staff change a client record at the same time
Evolution will handle either an amalgamation of the records seamlessly, or
notify the a specified staff member of the collision. It's that easy.
Security
Your Evolution solution runs completely from a 3 x 512 bit encrypted
database. More secure than any information management solution on the market
today. All information is compressed and locked down to only allow your
companies' version of Evolution to have access. Your documents are always safe
with Evolution.

Quick Global Launching and Integration of all File Types
Evolution directly communicates with every possible file type:
- Microsoft Word
- Microsoft Excel
- PowerPoint
- Access
- Visio
- Microsoft Project
- WordPerfect Suite
- Zip Files
- RAR Files
- AutoCAD
- Adobe Illustrator files
- Adobe Photoshop files
- Any other software application installed on your PC
When a document is created or accessed in Evolution, Evolution will
automatically load the software application and display the integrated file in
that application as it opens. This is a one click process from within your
Evolution Software Solution. When the "external" software application saves a
document change, Evolution will automatically update the file in its internal
database and create a new revision if needed. There is never an active
requirement for the user to directly interface with document management
functions when handling their documents through Evolution.
Evolution Document Management is a must see feature of Evolution. Contact us

Web Connectivity and Collaboration
Because Evolution can be easily integrated with your ecommerce website,
specific (password protected) company documents can be referenced and downloaded
directly from the internet. This feature is great for companies that provide
drivers and other materials for their products online or for companies that want
password specific downloads that can be accessed according to user permissions
on the web. Outside team collaborations and document management is vastly
simplified through Evolution's unique online document handling technology.
