FileHold has helped companies go paperless, replaced physical sign-offs with digital approval processes, and changed the way people find information. Those are easy changes once the company sees how they transform the day-to-day operations and the efficiencies gained. One of the most persistent inefficiencies is tiny: the subfolder.

Often, data lookup requirements for metadata values are simple. There is a single key value the user provides that can be used to find all other values. This is the easiest schema lookup to configure and requires minimal or no knowledge of database programming. When used with a key that is a dropdown menu where that dropdown menu is configured with search fields, the single key value can turn into up-to five key ways of completing the lookup.

For the last 14 years, FileHold software has been sold as a perpetual license with an optional ongoing support agreement. This allowed customers to buy FileHold and have a relatively low total cost of ownership (TCO) over the years. They also have the choice on whether to purchase support and upgrades or not. We have customers who purchased our licensing and have used the software for up to 10 years without a support agreement (testimony to how bullet proof the software is). Their TCO has been very low.

It has been a while since I last provided a product version update even though we have seen 16.1, 16.1.1 and now 16.2 so it is about time.
Minor releases are generally about incrementally building on the last major release, but that does not mean that the new features are minor in capability or scope and there are some big ones since my last update.
