DocuWare picks up prize DM awards Winner of Best Private Sector Project of the Year

London, – October 29, 2009 – DocuWare wins Best Private Sector Project of the Year by Document Manager (DM) Magazine.

Document Manager (DM) Magazine, the leading publication on ECM in the UK, organized the annual DM awards on October 22, 2009, recognizing the industry leaders in document management in the UK.  The award “Best Private Sector Project of the Year” represents the best software project chosen for the most notable technology to improve document management and workflow, increase time savings and lower costs in a privately held company.

The judging was done by a panel consisting of four industry experts in the UK: Rory Staunton at Strategy Partners, Dave Tyler of DM Magazine, Martin Woldron of In-Form Consult, and Tony Heldon at Cimtech. DocuWare was selected for its ease of use, low cost, speed, and browser capabilities that allow for a rather unique document workflow process at Serviceline, an industrial kitchen maintenance company. The workflow starts with a digital pen and pad (by Destiny Plc.) and ends up in DocuWare on a job manager’s pc via the Internet, and later is accessible by anyone. The seamless integration into Destiny Plc’s Destiny Pen gives Serviceline the capability to save all documents pertaining to a job in one document pool from the moment it is checked off.

Stefan Schindler, Director at DocuWare Ltd., remarks: "This integration project proved to have many advantages, one of which is that due to DocuWare’s Web Client, engineers in the field are able to access the status of the job from any location which saves enormous amounts of resources. As soon as a job is checked off as done using the Destiny digital pen, an invoice can be created and sent out; this truly increases cash flow.”
