ActiveFiler is a document filing solution. It assists with the saving of documents from Microsoft Word (it can also be used with other programs but would need some configuration).

Instead of having to navigate to the right folder and name a Word document when you try to save it, ActiveFiler makes this process automatic, based on rules you set up. In other words, ActiveFiler generates a location and name for a document at the point of saving. It also creates all necessary folders. The benefit of this is quicker, easier and more accurate saving.

Typically ActiveFiler is configured by an organisation's IT department. The rest of the staff, those that will be using ActiveFiler don't need to do any configuration. They won't even have any new software to learn. What they will notice is that saving has become very simple and reliable. ActiveFiler can also be used on a single computer as well as in a large organisation. If you don't have an IT department, we can help you with configuration.

ActiveFiler can handle quite complex systems of filing, using data from a number of sources and allowing formatting and manipulation of that data in order to generate a file path. It is also very configurable and easily integrated with other systems having an API and using open standards such as XML.

In summary, if your staff create a lot of Word documents ActiveFiler could be very helpful, ensuring they can be reliably retrieved at a later date. For example, ActiveFiler is currently used on a daily basis by legal secretaries. If you have any questions do contact us and we can help you decide if ActiveFiler is for you.
