This week the outcry over the demise of Office 2010 mobile beta was so great that Microsoft had to apologize. It looks like it will also be having problems with Google Docs. And Xerox is down but far from out.

This week AvePoint released a migration tool for moving Lotus Notes content into SharePoint 2010, while the markets wait for Oracle's Q3 results. Meanwhile, Open Text makes your documents mobile.

Last week we saw a considerable amount of movement in the document management software industry, not the least of which was the closure of the Xerox –ACS deal. The wheeling-and-dealing continues this week with the acquisition of AmberPoint by Oracle while AIIM and Gartner get back into gear with some research published recently.

The acquisition by Xerox (news, site) of business process outsourcing giant ACS has been given final approval after a majority of shareholders from both companies gave the go-ahead.

The second big industry acquisition in two weeks sees Xerox Corp (news, site) taking over Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) in a US$ 6.4 billion cash deal that will see the document management giant take on US$ 2 billion of ACS debt as part of the takeover.

The launch of Xerox's (news, site) enhanced eDiscovery solution that should dramatically reduce the time it takes companies to fulfill eDiscovery and compliance obligations in languages other than English, should shake things up in the battle for dominance of the eDiscovery market.

With a name Immigrations Services would be proud of, the new solution, called Foreign Language Identifier (FDI), works with 45 languagues and streamlines the document review processes in eDiscovery searches. At least that's what they say.
 

Xerox Corporation (news, site) expressed its commitment to greener and more efficient alternatives to paper-driven work processes (be it in the U.S. or APAC) with two new enterprise CMS offerings: Virtual Filing System and DocuShare 6.5.

The Xerox Corporation (news, site) is continuing market expansion across the globe for its enterprise content management solution Docushare. It announced that it has entered into an agreement with Fuji Xerox to make DocuShare available in the Asia Pacific region.

Xerox, in partnership with two other companies, has released new paperless solutions that will streamline paper handling in the legal profession. One new product will import hardcopy legal case files into digital folders with Xerox DocuShare. As a result, workflows surrounding court proceedings will be more efficient and eco-friendly.

The DocuShare system generates a preset collection of DocuShare folders to store critical information. Then, the software system notifies users of the court network when a new case is in the system. This new system from Xerox and WaterWare Internet Services alleviates the need to keep and store hard copy documents and expedites the process to produce legal documents under short notice.

Another new solution is Xerox DocuShare's integration with CaseHomePage, a product from partner ExtraAccess Service, Inc. With CaseHomepage, law offices can create an Internet site that houses pertinent legal documents in an organized manner. Attorneys, with the new system, can send files securely and affordably via the web, eliminating the need to use couriers or secure mail.

Xerox is working hard to streamline the day-to-day operation of law offices by alleviating a major headache: paper based filing and management. Does your organization have any experience with Xerox's DocuShare? Has the product been as useful as your organization originally hoped?

Xerox Corporation, a vendor of document management solutions, has recently announced a new scanner that sticks with bigger doesn’t always necessarily mean better mentality.

For those of you wistfully dreaming of a day when the copiers would not only copy/fax/scan but also send your precious documents — your day has finally arrived.

Evolving from copiers to document management to CMS, Xerox announces the launch of DocuShare Express, a content management solution developed specifically for small to mid-sized businesses.
