IT Services offers a new Document Management Solution called CenterStage

Do you ever find yourself emailing documents back & forth between members of a working group, only to find your inbox is quickly cluttered with several different versions?

Have you ever found it difficult to figure out which version is the most recent? Which one you should be looking at? Have you ever found it difficult to find messages related to specific tasks and/or activities?

You can put an end to that confusion by creating your own web-based document management space that every member of your working team can access. Once created, that space will function as a central location for all related documents and communications.

You can create such a space using CenterStage, the new Document Management Solution provided by McGill IT Services. This tool allows faculty and staff members to share and collaborate on all kinds of files – text, spreadsheets, slideshow presentations and image files – regardless of whether they are in different academic units and departments.  Use it for projects, working group meetings, sharing ideas, etc.

In addition to the basic document management features of version control and record-locking, CenterStage provides collaboration features such as customizable web-page spaces, blogs, wikis and discussion forums.
