THE EASIEST USER EXPERIENCE FOR IBM FILENET

Genus File Explorer for IBM FileNet (GFEX) is the only Microsoft File Explorer-based solution that provides an easy-to-use complementary user interface to IBM Content Navigator so your users can select the user interface that is easiest for them.

GFEX allows FileNet to appear like any other logical drive in Microsoft Windows applications so opening, moving, saving, copying, or creating FileNet objects (including documents and folders) requires no training.

With GFEX, files may be opened in their native format, such as Microsoft Office or Adobe. GFEX streamlines the way that people work so organizations can save time and money.



EMPOWER YOUR IBM FILENET USERS WITH GFEX

> Give users a choice of the Content Navigator viewer or the Genus File Explorer for FileNet to promote widespread user adoption while managing records for compliance or corporate requirements.

> Deliver a familiar interface for FileNet and IBM Enterprise Records (IER) repositories so they appear like any other Microsoft Windows resource to ensure adoption of one centralized repository.

> Align FileNet record and document tasks with familiar Windows file actions.

> Make it easy for anyone in the organization (with access rights) to access information from FileNet.

> Sharing a document in FileNet with GFEX is simplified and eliminates the risk of duplicates.

> View documents in their native format (Adobe, MS Office, Email, etc.), make edits, and save back into FileNet.

> Reduce the number of applications supported within the organization by utilizing native viewers.
