People are more productive when the documents they need are easy to find and share. This is true whether you're locating personnel records, monitoring contracts, or looking up customer statements.

Microsoft and Xerox have complementary technologies that together help streamline your operations by converting traditional, document-intensive business processes into a more efficient digital-based approach.

Digitising and providing electronic access to your contracts, records, files, forms - even images - allows you to automate the flow of information throughout your company. No more time wasted hunting for misplaced documents. No more lost documents. No more money spent paying to store paper. It's an ideal combination for companies that rely on documents and access to the critical information they contain to stay in business.

Whilst Xerox devices allow for documents to be scanned directly into Microsoft Sharepoint, SharePoint has several features that provide improved control of access and versioning of documents:

• Enforce check in and check out. You can now enforce mandatory check in and check out of SharePoint content.
• Check out to local. This feature lets a user check out a document and open it for editing on their client computer by using one option button.
• Minor versioning. SharePoint supports minor versioning. Based on settings the site administrator specifies, users can also have the option to choose whether to increment the major or minor versioning when they check an edited document back into a document library. Users can also add version-specific comments when checking in the document.
