WinCenter Pro and ForReview for Windows Extend Flexible View and Mark-up Solutions To Enterprise-wide UNIX Platforms


Laguna Hills, CA. April 16, 1997. Allegria Software has announced immediate availability and support for WinCenter Pro software, which enables the full functionality of Allegria's ForReview for Windows view and mark-up solution to be accessed from any networked UNIX platform. The addition of WinCenter Pro to Allegria's product offerings represents a major step forward in the company's commitment to providing a complete range of support solutions for enterprise-wide document management systems. The advantage for an enterprise in deploying this solution is that they have the same view and mark-up features, functionality and file format support on all platforms throughout the enterprise.

WinCenter Pro provides high performance along with full security. Installing WinCenter Pro on an NT server creates a powerful, multi-user, networked resource, allowing access to any Windows NT, 95 or 3.1 application from UNIX workstations or X terminals. For instance, the use of WinCenter Pro enables access to ForReview and any of its specially integrated Windows-based EDM/PDM clients from within any standard UNIX environment. Because ForReview currently supports seamless integrations with a variety of the leading EDM/PDM systems, (including Documentum, Metaphase , Autodesk's WorkCenter, ADRA's Matrix, PC DOCS DOCS OPEN and many others ) using ForReview in conjunction with WinCenter Pro can truly satisfy all company-wide requirements.

According to Bob Bruns, President of Allegria, "With WinCenter Pro, any UNIX user can now get at the power and functionality of ForReview for Windows, thus providing unparalleled view and mark-up in a UNIX window without requiring the deployment of any additional software on the UNIX platforms. It also completely eliminates all of the hassles involved with supporting multiple view and mark-up solutions for different environments. In addition, it eliminates the time-consuming process of converting files previously required to view them within the UNIX environment. In addition, it greatly simplifies network administration because future upgrades can be done once, on the server, and are immediately available to UNIX users throughout the network."

Allegria's proven ForReview product family satisfies the full range of view and mark-up requirements for users throughout the enterprise. ForReview products support over 150 drawing and document formats, including those used by major office and CAD applications. The ForReview architecture allows for complete and easy integration into any document management systems, and the highly configurable user interface adapts comfortably for both non-technical users and demanding power-users. This allows system administrators to simply deploy ForReview as the single view and mark-up solution to satisfy the diverse needs of all departments and users.

As a subsidiary of GRAL Inc., Allegria Software is committed to providing a full range of enterprise-wide solutions that can stand firmly on their own or can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of any existing document/data management system. Products in the GRAL Inc. family include: gralXconvert and gralXnetPlot for file conversion and plotter management (soon to be integrated with ForReview ); WinCenter Pro software for accessing Windows applications from UNIX environments; and Explora hardware platforms for the deployment of cost-effective cross-platform, network computing solutions.
