interested in expanding their product line to support collaboration and document sharing. Most existing_x000D_
solutions in this area are based on a centralized server where all the shared documents are stored. In this_x000D_
approach companies lose control of their documents and managing access for the different parties can be_x000D_
complicated and time consuming. RBRO is proposing a distributed approach to document management where_x000D_
the documents are stored on each partners' individual server and a deal room server is used to coordinate access_x000D_
to these documents. The purpose of this research project is to evaluate the feasibility of this form of distributed_x000D_
document management system. In this project a prototype of the new approach to document management will_x000D_
be design and implemented. This prototype will be used to informally evaluate the functionality and_x000D_
performance of this approach. If successful, this will form the basis for a full scale commercial product., program purpose french : RBRO Solutions specializes in document management systems mainly for the legal industry and they are_x000D_
