Stellent Collaboration offers a Web-accessible and centralized "digital workspace" that facilitates content collaboration and gives users a system to search and access all project-related content. With Stellent, you can manage and collaborate on documents, Web content, records and digital assets within one application via a single user interface - which simplifies the user experience, eliminates costs related to training and integration with multiple repositories, and lowers the total cost of ownership.

A Flexible and Secure Collaboration Solution

Your solution starts with a core Stellent server, which provides search, security, workflow and revision control for all types of content. Stellent Collaboration Management is built on top of that foundation, offering additional functionality focused on the unique needs of an ad-hoc, collaborative environment.

For the business user: Stellent understands the ad-hoc nature of content collaboration and empowers business users to set up secure "digital workspaces" to collaborate on project content - without having to depend on limited IT resources to do it. Additionally, nothing disrupts content creation and collaboration more than the introduction of new technology and business process changes. Stellent Collaboration Management allows business users to continue using the standard business applications they prefer. And with an intuitive Web browser or Windows Explorer interface, internal and external team members from all over the world can be a part of project teams. Stellent offers:

• Support for all file formats such as e-mail, Microsoft® Office, Project or Visio, IBM® Lotus SmartSuite, Sun StarOffice™ and Autodesk AutoCAD®
  
  
• Automatic content conversion to PDF, HTML and other Web formats enables project members to view files without having to use the native application
  
  
• User-controlled security limits who has access to read, edit or delete individual files
  
  
• A managed environment to keep track of all revisions of content, including related discussions

For the IT administrator: In collaborative content management, with the constant changing of projects and project team security, administrative resources must avoid becoming the IT bottleneck. With Stellent Collaboration Management:

• Administrators initially set up the overall security of the system
  
  
• Individual users are empowered with "sub-administrative roles" to create ad-hoc projects and modify content access - minimizing tedious setup and administration tasks and saving you time
  
  
• Since the solution is browser-based, there's no need to install client software on user desktops or spend hours training business users on how to use new applications

Stellent Collaboration Management is an out-of-the-box, Web-based server solution that is ideal for heterogeneous environments, and supports Microsoft and Unix operating systems as well as a wide variety of databases, Web servers and application servers. Additionally, Stellent's Java-based architecture provides flexibility, resulting in a solution which is quickly deployed, easy to customize and enterprise-scalable.
