New DocuShare Will Target SMBs
Responding to the growing need among small- and medium-sized businesses for more economical document-management applications, Xerox is launching a new “express” version of its venerable DocuShare solution.
Traditionally targeted for storing, searching, and organizing electronic documents for large enterprises, DocuShare’s pricing has often excluded smaller companies. The new DocuShare "express" version, due out by September, will offer 10-user licenses for less than $2,000, according to Xerox sources. Xerox prices the flagship DocuShare version for companies needing hundreds of user licenses.
Because Xerox plans to offer DocuShare Express through the same channels as its other SMB products, solution providers could benefit by having a new document-management product to offer its customer base.
The need for greater workflow efficiencies and growing government regulatory requirements mean many SMBs face similar document challenges as larger organizations. “Finding documents when you need them at the moment you need them isn’t easy," says Paul Gleason, vice president of small and medium business for Xerox. But pairing an MFP with document-management programs that can search the contents of documents is “absolutely critical for smaller businesses," he adds.
DocuShare Express illustrates a larger trend within the company to offer more “down market” applications for smaller companies, with a stable of solutions that also includes X-Solutions ScanFlowStore, Gleason says.
