FileHold Document Management Software Blog Topics

We will cover a variety of blog topics:

1) Spotlight on FileHold web site and FileHold help system content
- There are hundreds of pages in the FileHold web site and help system, on a frequent basis we will look at various topics that are frequently asked about.

2) Best Practices in Document Management
- In this we will look at various FileHold customer case studies, generally with customer names removed to protect confidentiality. We will examine how the FileHold library was setup, what challenges were overcome, and showcase the results. I always enjoy reading and learning about how people do things, usually this helps me with thinking of new ways to organize and structure document library's, metadata and a variety of documents.

3) Backup and Recovery of FileHold Application Data
- Far too often we read and hear about companies and organizations around the world that do not backup their various IT systems often enough, or not at all. Losing critical business or customer data is a serious risk. We provide detailed documentation covering a variety of backup and recovery scenarios. It is also a good idea to regularly schedule the testing of these upgrades, as well as patches and updates from Microsoft on a test FileHold server. Many of our customers elect to purchase a special backup and recovery license of FileHold to perform these tasks. Some customers use virtual machine technology from VMWare and other vendors that allow them to roll back after applying a patch or update from Microsoft. We will cover a variety of topics in this area.

4) Document management related technology news
- Occasionally, we may refer to interesting articles, news items or other external web sites that relate to the fields of imaging, document and record management.

This is a work in progress. We welcome your feedback, comments and suggestions.

Welcome to the FileHold Document Management Software Blog

The FileHold Document Management blog is another way FileHold Systems is trying to communicate with customers and potential customers.

I am your host, Cameron Siguenza, and I manage global support and implementation here at FileHold. I am happy to work with a great team comprised of developers, engineers, quality assurance, and sales personnel. We care about quality, and about making our customer's lives easier when it comes to simplifying document scanning, imaging, document and record management implementations. Ultimately, it is my responsibility to ensure that FileHold is installed, configured, and successfully deployed by working with customer IT and business/end-user representatives. We are lucky to work with a great group of customers around the world.

You may find it useful to subscribe to this blog via XML web feed to your XML RSS or Atom based Newsreader, iGoogle home page, My Yahoo, Microsoft Live home page, or via Internet Explorer 7 or the FireFox browser's built in XML news reader systems. There are many other ways to subscribe and read blogs that make it easier to stay involved. Many of these methods are more efficient than using browser bookmarks and going through them manually.

I have an iGoogle home page with 9 tabs arranging news feeds from current events, IT news, blogs, IT security alerts, hobbies, and friends and family blogs. It makes knowing whats new across hundreds of web sites and blogs an efficient 10 minute process.
