Revving up RM

Interwoven has purchased the assets of Software Intelligence for about $2 million. Software Intelligence's RM product will be renamed Interwoven Records Manager and will enable companies to manage paper documents, electronic documents and e-mail under a single unified records system.

Initially, Interwoven Records Manager will be integrated with WorkSite, its document management and collaboration solution. The company says the move will enable customers to establish and implement a single, coordinated management and retention strategy for records across all types of media, including paper, e-mail, scanned images and electronic documents, at the client, project, folder or box level and in their original context. Interwoven adds that users will be able to manage both electronic and paper files from a single interface in the context of their work. Retention policies can be assigned automatically based on client and project with no additional action or classification required.
