With the Verso and Enterprise 2000 solutions, the Maxcess Corporation is the first company to supply systems that are truly Intranet and Internet ready, and completely web-enabled using standard browser interfaces (Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape) for all public access and library and information management modules. Verso, an integrated, modular system, automates library functions and provides access to information resources beyond the physical limits of the library. Enterprise 2000, a state-of-the-art knowledge management system, combines library collection management, simple and complex document management, and image management from a single entry point and easy to use interface.
The Maxcess LKMS solutions are based on a multi-tiered thin client-server architecture allowing the system to scale from very small to very large configurations without changing the initial investment in hardware and software. Designed and configured for out-of-the-box operation for your organization, Verso runs under both the Windows NT and UNIX operating systems.
