The Trove document software application provides users with a tool
that will remove the cost, delay and risk associated
with archiving. With Trove, users do not have to rely on individuals
placing paper updates in their documentation. If documents
are already online as shared files, Trove provides a range of additional
features, such as version control, powerful searching and cross-referencing
to other documents within a library which users can create to share
documents with colleagues. The Trove application is based on a familiar
library concept where documents are held in folders on shelves within
libraries. Users see documents identified by meaningful titles in
appropriately labeled folders. Trove's free text searching functionality
ensures users get a rapid response to their searches. Information
can be pinpointed within seconds because every word and number is
automatically indexed by Trove when it is loaded.
Upon using Trove for the time, we discovered that it is a very
efficient tool. Some of the features that stood out to us were:
The easy utilization of the application
Hypertext links and contents lists, which are automatically maintained
across libraries
Loading documents from word processors, simple text, scanned paper
anywhere
Controlling documents release and withdrawal
Notification of revisions

ForeMost Enterprise
Primarily used for record management, Foremost Enterprise is an interesting
alternative for individuals who are seeking efficient software to
archive documents that should be easily accessible. Foremost Enterprise
permits users to gain complete control over deployability,
powerful end-user tools and flexible options for distributing information
other users for strategic planning decisions. The control can
be seen in the user interface of the application. Users may file away
documents in no more than three clicks and explore context filings
with a right click option. When classifying documents, users have
the option to notify other users of which documents are personal or
shared. Given this option, users are allowed to limit the amount of
people who can have access to documents within a file that is titled
"Personal." Once users are done filing and classifying documents,
Foremost Enterprise provides effective methods of searching for archived
information. Along with full-text searching, users may build their
own customize search profile to aid in retrieving information efficiently.
While going through the process of filing a couple of documents with
Foremost Enterprise, we made note of the following elements, which
made this application handy to have around for archiving:
E-mail Integration - Foremost Enterprise lets you file and
classify electronic messages and attachments with easy-to-use Drag
& Drop filing into personal or public folders

and disposition of documents

to assist your records manager with daily maintenance of the file
plan. Subject groupings can be set up, retention applied to each
grouping, and security control can be applied
