Laserfiche announces Version 9

Laserfiche has released Version 9 of its namesake software. The new offering includes the server, workflow, Web access and client in English, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian) and Spanish. The company reports Laserfiche 9 takes the company’s core enterprise competencies to the next level by tightly integrating BPM and ECM tools across the product line.

Laserfiche highlights the following new features in Version 9:

• Laserfiche Forms—extends business processes to the point of capture by allowing organizations to collect, process and route information electronically via Web-based forms;
• business processes—new “super workflows” that enable users to start workflows on a document from the Laserfiche Client or Web access and report on that workflow’s progress at every step;
• Web access Office integration—users can now access Laserfiche features when working with Microsoft Office files in native applications through Web Access; and
• Laserfiche SDK 9.0—includes a new Client Automation Tools (CAT) feature, a .NET assembly that supports the handling of multiple instances of the Client, launching of business processes, etc.

Upgrading to Laserfiche 9 from Version 8 does not require a full migration procedure. Laserfiche 8 repositories will be automatically updated to 9 upon upgrade.
