October 26, 2001—Digital Paper Corp., a provider of secure technical content exchange and collaboration software, recently released version 5.0 of it docQuest software, which allows organizations to securely exchange and collaborate on complex technical content (e.g., engineering drawings, specifications, blueprints, etc.) across the Web. The product includes new capabilities that speed and improve the efficiency of purchasing, manufacturing, field services, and facilities management.
For facilities managers, docQuest provides immediate and secure access to the right drawings so repairs can be quickly made to plant facilities and manufacturing equipment, avoiding costly down time in production operations and delayed shipments.
For purchasing departments, docQuest reduces procurement costs by helping companies effectively outsource a greater percentage of direct goods and enable more suppliers to compete in the bidding process.
For manufacturing, docQuest’s patent-pending ViewMark technology allows users to mark-up drawings, graphically communicating questions and comments to other users. This capability allows annotations to be notated on the drawing without altering the original state of the document. Collaboration partners will no longer have to wait days or weeks for notifications of changes or answers to questions.
For field service workers, docQuest provides users with quick access through any Web browser—even over low bandwidth connections—to the necessary drawings and information required to perform a repair.
docQuest 5.0 pricing for enterprise configurations begins at $175,000. For more information, contact Digital Paper at 888/215-6677.
