VirtualFile CabinetÖ VirtualFile CabinetÖ The Challenge:Navigating Information Islands
Departmental enclaves and other inter-organizational workgroups are like isolated islands of information that too often don't effectively communicate with one another. These information barriers are as real as trying to communicate across miles of ocean. Before you set sail, know your priorities: You want to creatively share your information - in text, graphic, image, and video formats - with employees and clients alike, and have confidence that this information is being effectively managed and protected.
Using traditional document management systems is like navigating the ocean in a luxury liner equipped only with a short-wave radio. These systems require a substantial investment and impose proprietary interfaces on users. Now there is an alternative. Infodata Systems Inc. has cornered a new segment of the information technology market with an evolutionary new product that bridges across multiple document management systems and seamlessly brings these islands of information closer together.

The Solution:A Way to Manage Your Electronic Assets
Infodata proudly introduces Virtual File Cabinet, or, as we prefer, VFC - a cost-effective and specialized Web-based system for accessing, organizing, and sharing information. VFC's familiar Web browser interface provides a simple solution to the complex challenge of managing documents from different sources, and enables your company to communicate among departments and across to customers and clients, even if they are using different document management systems.
The Virtual Office:Share Globally, Organize Locally
VFC provides templates that allow users to smoothly embark on the information excursion. Using a hierarchy of "buildings," "offices," "file cabinets," etc., it's easy to set up your virtual office and assign filenames that make sense to you, instead of being restricted to a predetermined naming scheme. VFC enables you to share information globally, but customize locally.
The Advantages:Familiarity, Flexibility, Power
