So… you’ve decided to implement FileHold. Installation is done, hard part is over—or is it? Let’s discuss the Elephant in the Room.
The necessity for document management system is usually driven by requirements for better management and control over corporate information, be it paper or electronic. And the actual effort to install a document management system is generally fairly straight forward. But once it’s installed -- then what?
Yep. You gotta configure it.
There are many scenarios where it is desirable to integrate documents stored in FileHold with other systems. FastFind is a popular integration method because it requires no special knowledge or technical skills. However, sometimes a tighter integration is desired where FileHold data appears directly with another application.
FileHold offers an easy method to access a document from an external application: a document link. The link works in any browser to take the user to the document in the FileHold folder, web viewer, or download the document directly to the browser’s download folder. Sometimes it is desirable to download the document without any user intervention. A tool like Powershell provides some great facility for automating the download and it can also easily interface with the FileHold API to do things like start a FileHold session.

Has another year passed and your company has once again delayed its plans to buy a document management system? So what’s the hold up? Those important documents that are being stored in every nook and cranny of your office aren’t going to mysteriously disappear any time soon – or more importantly they may disappear by way of a disaster (fire, flood).
