INFORMATION DIMENSIONS' BASIS INTRANET SOLUTION LETS ORGANIZATIONS BUILD WEB-BASED DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT APPLICATIONS IN DAYS INSTEAD OF MONTHS;
New packaged solution integrates BASIS with Netscape technology to enable easy, rapid Intranet deployment for managing and retrieving massive collections of business-critical documents

Information Dimensions, Inc., a leading document management solutions provider, today unveiled an important new way to manage massive collections of business-critical documents with advanced security controls over the World Wide Web. For the first time, companies can integrate enterprise-wide document management applications with Web technology to develop industrial- strength internal Web sites, or Intranets, in days instead of months using the Information Dimensions' BASIS Intranet Solution software.

The BASIS Intranet Solution offers sophisticated security controls like document views and user authentication to provide individuals with only the information they are authorized to access. In addition, the system provides document encryption as well as integrity controls like automatic recovery from hardware and software failures, update journaling and transaction-based updates, all of which helps customers make business- critical document collections available at all times.
For example, the U.S. Bureau of Mines, a federal government research laboratory, uses BASIS Intranet Solution to catalog over 22 years of mining-related publications and photos for government agencies conducting health and safety research as well as the general public looking for health-related information.
"We needed a way to manage our research publications and make the information available to our customers and the public," said Laura Crabtree, manager, information systems and technology with the Bureau's Pittsburgh Research Center. "We have used the BASIS Intranet Solution tools to deploy our Common Information Service System (CISS), an Intranet application for internal document management. With secure Web access, we've opened the doors of our publication information to the public for easy access to safety and health information."
