In their own words
DocuWare
DocuWare captures business information, automates document workflows, and keeps documents in centralized archives. It can capture material from scanners, email, Microsoft Teams, file imports, print streams, and other sources, with indexing and barcode recognition. Users can build workflows with drag-and-drop tools, automate recurring tasks and approvals, set deadlines, and follow progress in a dashboard. Search covers document content and indexed metadata, while versioning tracks document histories. DocuWare is offered as cloud SaaS, on-premises, or hybrid deployment. The maker says cloud and on-premises share a code base and feature parity; cloud subscriptions include complete functionality, with pricing based on users and storage. Integrations include 500 applications, with iPaaS connectors to more than 1,000 cloud applications and a REST-based platform service. Cloud documents use AES-256 encryption, traffic uses HTTPS with TLS, and data is triply mirrored, including a second copy elsewhere in the same region. Pricing is listed from $30/user/mo, and a free trial is available. Some on-premises capabilities may require additional licenses.
