Litera, a provider of document lifecycle management (DLM), has introduced Launchpad, a point-and-launch desktop toolbar for instant access to document lifecyle management offerings.
The company said that the Launchpad is based on context recognition and activation engine, which provides rich document lifecyle management offerings without the IT management and resource costs associated with maintaining desktop software with third party integrations.
The Launchpad facilitates organisations to enable its users to launch applications to compare complex compound documents, PowerPoint decks and spreadsheets.
In addition, users can control PDF documents, extract from and print to a PDF, and cleanse metadata from Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF documents, and from Webmail and Blackberry emails, the company said.
Further, Litera products such as Change-Pro for Word, PowerPoint and PDF document comparison;
Change-Pro for Excel; LDF for PDF control and management; and Metadact for metadata cleaning can be launched from Launchpad include, the company said.
Litera chief executive officer Deepak Massand said that today’s organisations want to increase user productivity without adding additional complexity or IT staff burden. That was the inspiration behind the development of Litera Launchpad.
"This first-of-its-kind product helps to eliminate software conflicts and upgrade issues that can erode value and cause user downtime. As a result, users are productive on day one without any added IT intervention, management time or resources," Massand added.
