Thumbnails for eDOCS DM





Many organizations that use eDOCS DM for Digital Asset Management: the storage and management of diagrams, schematics, marketing logos - almost any type of digital imaging files. Matrix Logic's Thumbnails for eDOCS DM product now provides an easy way to visually scan through a set of thumbnail previews in DM Extensions as easily as you would in Microsoft Windows XP or Google Image Search.

"The Document Control group at the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is responsible for managing over 6,000 digitized historic photographs in eDOCS DM that document the construction of the water system during the early 1900's. As the entire system undergoes a $4B rehabilitation and expansion of its aging infrastructure, access to original construction photos becomes an invaluable source of information for design and reconstruction. Matrix Logic's Thumbnails for eDOCS DM product allows Document Control to quickly examine a large number of photos and retrieve only those images that are relevant the user's need."
-- Kathy Brown, Senior IS Business Analyst at SFPUC
