Staff members find the product very easy to use, and it is currently one of our most popular safety resources. Migrating to Exchange Server 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. Telstra employees needed to be able to access all of the information regarding chemical usage from all 2,500 of our sites says Hecker. 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. With DME managing our documents we can leverage our investment in Microsoft BackOffice technologies. 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.
