By David Roe (@druadh20) Apr 26, 2011

This week, Laserfiche gets eForm and document automation tools through LincWare, Google announces that it will be making it easier to upload docs into Docs, Adobe rushes to protect Acrobat and Reader from hackers, Nuxeo connects to Amazon S3 while Executive and Kyocera enables users to scan and index documents to Google.

Laserfiche, LincWare Integrate

Laserfiche (news, site) has never let the grass grow under its feet, so the recent integration with LincWare, which provides eForm creation and document automation tools, adds a little bit more functionality that keeps growing Laserfiche.

Using LincDoc, users can automate common documents and forms and push them into Laserfiche. Documents can then be routed using Laserfiche Workflow business process management or sent into its DoD 5015.2-certified records management system.

What is good about this integration is that LincWare also has a native iPad application that allows users to capture forms and data from their iPad and send them to Laserfiche. It also adds support for the Laserfiche Web Access thin client and Laserfiche WebLink public portal.

This integration is one of the partnerships developed under the Laserfiche Professional Developer Partnership (PDP) program, which provides customers access to a variety of third-party integrations, configurations, plug-ins and Web tools. LincWare has been a member of the program since 2008.

Intermedia Offers Single Sign-On

More from Intermedia (news, site) this week, with the launch of a free Single Sign-On application for its customers. Rather than logging into separate cloud services, Intermedia users can log in once through the secure Single Sign-On application.

The application then provides access to a user's services, such as Microsoft Outlook email, Outlook Web Access, document management and instant messaging.

Intermedia Single Sign-On is available for Windows 7 and Vista operating systems and is free for Intermedia customers. It can be downloaded from HostPilot Control Panel or My Services.

Nuxeo Connects to Amazon S3

It's been a busy month for Nuxeo (news, site), provider of the open source Nuxeo Document Management platform. If you missed it earlier, the release of its most recent update includes the ability to connect its Enterprise CMS repository into Amazon's S3 cloud storage service.

The component, named Amazon S3 Online Storage, can be purchased through the Nuxeo Marketplace and allows Nuxeo customers to configure storage of certain Nuxeo data in Amazon's storage cloud.

Amazon S3 is one of the most popular cloud-based storage services. The package requires Nuxeo Document Management 5.4.1 for installation.

Once the Amazon S3 Online Storage add-on is installed, the component provides access to the configured Amazon S3 account for remote file storage transparently to the application end user; the installation, however, is not transparent. Interested in more?

Adobe (news, site) has responded to hackers that have been embedding Adobe Flash files in Word and Excel documents, allowing a hidden Flash file into your computer once the attachment was opened.
