Wireless document management

The new solution enables Matrix Logic’s Wireless DMS Suite users to access documents stored in a Hummingbird document management system via mobile phones, PDAs and handheld computers.

Matrix Logic reports its new software enhances WAPDocs, a document management connector for digital mobile phones the company introduced last summer, and provides support for the full range of Hummingbird's document management products, which include DOCSOpen, PowerDOCS, DOCSFusion and CyberDOCS.

The companies explain WirelessDMS enables users to access their document repositories and convert documents into readable text in real time on supported phones, pagers, Palm devices and Pocket PCs. For the mobile worker with a Pocket PC or Windows CE handheld, full document synchronization is available when the device is docked.

Users may also search their document libraries and then e-mail or fax documents directly from their handheld devices. Instant notification of changes to projects, quick searches and documents within the system can be accomplished via e-mail or directly on users’ handheld devices.

Document viewing is available on appropriate handheld devices, rendering documents on the fly to text for viewing on the small screen. WirelessDMS also allows users to view rendered e-mail attachments and document references previously unreadable on wireless devices.
