We provide Lateral solutions to common business problems. Our extensive experience in the ECM industry has allowed us to develop products that complement ECM platforms. These products are listed below:

 

ICA Records Management Module

Records Management for todays world

Lateral Minds have developed an Alfresco module that implements the Records Management specifications as defined by the International Council of Archives (ICA) 2008 Guidelines. These guidelines specifically address the Australian (ADRI) and New Zealand (PRA) Records Management requirements. Since the ICA is an international body made up of member countries that include those in Asia Pacific, it is also appropriate for those jurisdictions. This module is compatible with the Alfresco DOD5015.2 Module and builds on the core Alfresco services.

•    Built on the powerful, scalable Alfresco Enterprise Content Management System
•    Provides an extended lifecycle for content, from active documents through to inactive and secured records

infoBridge Spatial

Maintaining linear assets is a complex business

Systems that are used to support the process are often segmented and disparate. Poor user interfaces, complex data models and poor data collection exacerbate the problem of identifying relevant information from the data in these systems.

Lateral Minds have developed a ground-breaking new product, infoBridge(tm) Spatial, that can provide a simple and effective solution to most of these problems. Organisations that deploy infoBridge(tm) Spatial can realize significant cost savings through both "opportunity maintenance" and "preventive maintenance" programs, and these cost savings provide a fast return on investment for the software.
