DocStar ECM available for Esri ArcGIS

Epicor Software Corporation released a new DocStar® Enterprise Content Management (ECM) DocStar® Enterprise Content Management (ECM) connector for ArcGIS which enables organizations to connect Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial information and related documents accessible via a map. Users can easily access GIS layers and features while instantly displaying related GIS maps, data and documents.

“Our new connector greatly simplifies document retrieval and management for organizations using ArcGIS, For example, a company that owns and operates mobile cell phone towers can click on a tower location on a map and see all the documents related to that location, such as equipment specifications, service and repair orders, schematics and the like. A building owner can review assets from the top of the building to the subterranean level and download related documents in either a PDF or the native format. This tool helps organizations make more immediate and informed data-driven decisions.”said Greg Cooke, senior director, sales, DocStar ECM.
