Xythos Document Collaboration
Enterprises these days require security and efficacy in their software since they now have a lot of important documents that are available in their system. For this reason, most document collaboration tools now offer security when accessing these files from any time zones and locations while at the same time allowing you to collaborate your documents with efficacy.
This call for a good document collaboration document is what Xythos is all about. Xythos was created as a response for the need of most organizations for safer ways to share information. So what is all the hype about Xythos?
Unlike most enterprise content management tools, Xythos is designs to be simpler and cheaper than other tools that are targeted to the more complex Web publishing tasks used by most organizations. On the other hand, what makes Xythos great is that it has a Web-based distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) that allows it to do file sharing and, at the same time, provide a document management solution to your organization. This is the reason why you can easily share file from and out the network securely.
The utilization of WebDAV also has other benefits such that sharing of unsecured file that might damage one computer in the system or the entire system itself is eliminated. On the other hand, the users are also ensured that they work on the same file rather than on multiple files thus allowing the people from the organization to keep track with the different changes in the document and also see who changed what.
Moreover, the changes are also notified thru e-mail thus the parties involved with the document collaboration will be notified so that they can respond to the changes made on the document. Now, if people work with the same file and that unnecessary duplicates are eliminated, then the entire system saves a lot of valuable server and storage capacity which can be used to add more software to help you and your organization to achieve efficacy while working.
Xythos is indeed promising since it can deliver what other SharePoint Alternatives cannot do and that it also costs cheaper than the ones that are preferred by a lot of users. Unfortunately, Xythos lacked enough push and, until now, only a few people are know what Xythos is all about and what it can do to most organization when it comes to document collaboration and web content management.
