The Documanage Workstation is a Windows product that provides the user interface to the Documanage server, offering browsing, query resolution and integrated document display and annotation.

Documanage Server
The Documanage Server is a scalable configuration of one or more Window NT Servers, which provide coordinated and controlled parallel access to the documents and catalogue information about them.

document management and workflow
A successful electronic document management system (EDMS) requires a robust open-architecture archive (with a choice of database engines and storage media), integrated workflow for driving document-centered business processes, an open security model compatible with existing business infrastructure, Web enablement and programmable APIs for integration and extension.

A great EDMS includes the above, plus seamless integration with other essential applications such as document production and content acquisition tools, unique leverage of information resources in external databases, and integrated support for mission-critical document formats.

workflow processes
Working with documents requires a series of capabilities:

access to documents must be controlled; changes and updates tracked
documents must be checked out and checked back in to monitor usage and provide secure access and version control
version control must be automatic, based on access, with the capability of adding annotations, as well as modifying a document
defined workflow processes ensure that all necessary steps are followed in the correct sequence
security should be multi-tier to reflect real-world organizational structures
workflow processes should be easy to design and follow
drag-and-drop rule-driven workflow definition processes make it easy to implement and maintain workflow
