To manage and process the ever-increasing volumes of information we continuously produce and receive, major limitations in today's computer systems, including the dependence on 'location based storage' need to be challenged.

The development of FileSphere based on new standards such as Resource Definition Framework (RDF), Web Ontology Language (OWL) and the concept of machine understandable data, challenges the traditional hierarchical structures and transforms our every day working environment into dynamic, personalized views of information.

For the first time in the history of computing we can use our computers in the same way we use our brain to store & access information. FileSphere ends the complexity of managing large volumes of files, emails and documents while eliminating the concept of filing cabinet paradigm from electronic information management.

FileSphere is developed based on open standards. It is built on the Microsoft .NET platform and is fully integrated within the Microsoft Windows environment. The product has been developed in C# with support in Windows 2000/XP/2003. It introduces the concept of ‘zero interface,’ removing the need to learn a new application environment, being embedded within Microsoft Windows Explorer and Microsoft Office 2000/XP applications.

FileSphere centralizes the storage of all document types including emails, for ease of management. Stored documents are classified based on the Resource Definition Framework (RDF), which has been standardized by W3C.

Communication between the Microsoft Windows Explorer interface and the core of the system is via Web Services using WSDL and SOAP. This provides for a rich user environment while maintaining open communication for integration with third party applications either by invoking local functions or through web services.

Integration
FileSphere can be deployed quickly with no programming skills required. However, based on your company's unique requirements, you may wish to integrate FileSphere with existing desktop applications or you may wish to extend FileSphere's functionality. This can be achieved by using the FileSphere Application Programming Interface (API) in a standard .NET development environment.
