With easy access to accurate workplace and chemical use information, managers and employees are managing safety more easily, which has cut expenses and downtime. Staff members find the product very easy to use, and it is currently one of our most popular safety resources. When Telstra decided to migrate their 55,000 employee messaging system to Microsoft Exchange Server in June 1998, it became the largest Microsoft Mail community to do so. With Internet protocols that are part of the core Exchange Server architecture, Telstra was able to take advantage of great connectivity, flexibility, and high performance. This required the kind of replication that is supplied by Microsoft Exchange Server.
Most applications store documents on a file server.
By comparison, DME stores the data in the Exchange Server data store, so the data and metadata are indexed. The CKO developer kits provide the interfaces used by the DME client to determine how to manage all internal and external documents from a single source server. By providing Telechem with a properly positioned document management system, DME aided Telstra in capturing chemical knowledge for the Telstra Care chemical management program with an unprecedented level of information access. Used as an intranet tool instead of a desktop application, Telechem is accessed by employees through a general metadata tag to run the initial search. Once complete, a second search tag is chosen and employees receive a full description of the chemical in question.
