KnowledgeTree, which provides commercial open source document management software, has announced the release of version 3.61 of its flagship solution, and also version 1.0 of its new Microsoft Office add-in. Companies that use document management platforms, such as legal firms, depend on them to help them with compliance, such as tracking how long they must retain key documents, contracts and the like.
KnowledgeTree's new release includes new enhancements focused on compliance, and is more interoperable with other productivity applications. For example, KnowledgeTree's new Microsoft Office add-in means that Microsoft applications users can open, edit, save and e-mail documents that reside in the KnowledgeTree repository from within Office applications, as they would if the documents resided on a shared drive.
