Schools are increasingly using electronic documents in day-to-day administration and communication yet these items often reside on user PCs and in complex folders rather than being managed by the SIMS file plan.
RECORDLINKwriter by Cohesion Software allows SIMS users to quickly and easily save their Microsoft Office documents to SIMS where they become organised, network accessible and part of the school's disaster recovery plan.
