Background
Ricoh have formed a strategic alliance with Docosoft, a
subsidiary of Design Automation the largest independent
software company in Japan. This alliance offers a fast and
powerful range of Electronic Document Management (EDM) software
products, providing the end user with the ideal compliment
of technologies. The Ricoh hardware offers the optimum in
product performance allowing for quick, simple production
and distribution of documents, whilst the Docosoft software
provides excellent, flexible management of up to 280 different
file types.
Why Docosoft?
Docosoft allows people to work the same way as manual Document
Management but on a PC. Because a viewer is not constrained
by file type, and with the incredibly fast viewing technology
used within DOCOsoft products, the user can first narrow
down their search to a few documents by searching against
properties. They can then flick through the search results
visually to find the document they want.

Unrivalled speed of document viewing Documents can be viewed
immediately as thumbnails, icons, originals and list format
Simple end user interface Scalable solutions giving customer's
easy upgrade path Customisation of software if required
Supported by DOCOsoft, the software authors Total hardware/software
integration through alliance between Ricoh and DOCOsoft,
giving peace of mind to customer and dealer Over 280 different
file types can be viewed without opening the original application,
or even having that application on the client PC
Virtual Graphical User Interface (GUI) means files and folders
can be created in a meaningful way to the user, without
worrying about where the files are physically located.
Virtual GUI means that if a user accidentally deletes a
file in DOCOsoft, the original file is still present
