FileCenter At A Glance
Product Overview
FileCenter is a Document Management Solution intended for SMBs that want an efficient file management system without impacting their office productivity. It includes file management features, such as an electronic filing cabinet with a Cabinet/Drawer/Folder layout design, as well as scanning, OCR, and PDF features.
FileCenter is deployed on-premise and installed on a desktop. Minimum system requirements include a Windows 10 operating system or a Windows Server 2016 or newer, a TWAIN-compliant scanner or ScanSnap, at least a four-core CPU processor (although an eight-core processor is recommended), and at least 4 GB of memory. And if the organization wants to integrate FileCenter with its accounting systems, it must have QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop or Xero.
FileCenter is also Cloud compliant – users can scan files to the cloud and access them through cloud providers, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft OneDrive.
