In addition to these features, DocuShare CPX 6.0 provides capabilities such as compliance reporting, workflow enhancements and pre-defined templates that leverage XML technology to transform ordinary Microsoft Excel spreadsheets into electronic forms (e-forms), which link to databases, applications and frequently updated reports. These can be automatically updated whenever the data changes.
The entry-level Canadian list price for a complete DocuShare 6.0 system with 20 seats starts at $6,372 and a 100-seat system of DocuShare CPX 6.0 starts at $63,720.
