O3Spaces Workplace 2.3.0 available

O3Spaces is pleased to announce the immediate availability of O3Spaces Workplace 2.3.0, the latest version of its cross platform Document Management and Document Collaboration suite.

Mac OS support
O3Spaces Workplace 2.3.0 is the first release to incorporate support for Mac OS X. The incorporation of Mac OS X support (server & client) further extends the true cross platform nature of O3Spaces Workplace as Sharepoint alternative. Workplace 2.3.0 supports the Safari web browser and will offer a plug-in for OpenOffice.org 3.0 as soon as it is officially released for the Mac.

Repository search in the Workplace Assistant
The Workplace Assistant, the optional desktop client, now sports ‘repository search’ functions. Searching for files, file versions, comments, and descriptions is now possible directly from your desktop. Convenient multiple file download is another addition made to the Workplace Assistant. All of these functions work in unison with the repository file browser in order to make finding, retrieving and sharing your documents even easier.

New application embedder
O3Spaces Workplace 2.3.0 incorporates an application embedder that enables the integration of external web applications, wikis and websites in the Workplace environment. With this new feature O3Spaces customers can leverage their web applications integrated in the user-friendly Workplace environment to realize a fitting solution.

Workspace, folder and file links
A modest, but very usable novelty in 2.3.0 are workspace-, folder- and file-links that are available in the Workplace browser environment, as well as in notification messages. These convenient URLs facilitate easy communication and notification regarding workspaces, files and folders, giving users single click direct access to relevant information.
