Esko-Graphics has released Webcenter 4.0 collaboration and asset management server within the Scope end-to-end workflow.

Esko-Graphics has released Webcenter 4.0 collaboration and asset management server within the Scope end-to-end workflow.

Webcenter is used to ensure that all partners in the packaging supply chain can efficiently and accurately share digital information.

Webcenter 4.0 provides secure project and file management to the desktop - anywhere there is web access.

Users can manage projects and documents from work, from home, or anywhere in the world said Esko.

Projects in Webcenter can contain any type of document, including CAD files, graphic files, spreadsheets, proposals, purchase orders, or customer specifications.

Webcenter 4.0 is claimed to automatically maintain version control and history for each document stored on the server.

As documents are added or updated to projects, the version history for each is automatically maintained.

The identity of who made changes - and when and why - is always available to increase communication and reduce errors throughout the company.

Project management has been introduced for Scope workflows.

Every project has a project manager - the user who 'owns' the project, although a project manager can reassign the project to another manager at any time.

To maintain a high level of security, users can only view projects to which the project manager has invited them.

Document management has been extended to include support for virtually any type of file.

A file stored in Webcenter is a 'document' and is associated with a project.

Every document in a project is tracked and automatically maintained by the software's version history.

Users may review previous versions of documents to see exactly what changed.

Only one person may change a document at a time, eliminating errors that cost time and money.

Check out and check in features allow users to make changes to documents.

Only one user at a time can Check Out a document but other users can still view the most current version and will know that the document is being edited by another user.

Search tools are improved and expanded to operate more like common internet search engines.
