History

Computhink was established in 1994 in Chicago, IL.[2] Computhink originally offered their document management solution under the name "The Paperless Office"[3] on a 32-bit SQL database. In 2000, Computhink launched ViewWise and rebranded ViewWise in 2013, creating Contentverse 8 and its cloud version: Contentverse Cloud. Contentverse enables users to create an electronic filing system composed of cabinets, drawers, and folders, using index keys to manage and search many documents.[4]

Contentverse enables users to reduce paper use and move to an electronic document management solution.[5] A paperless office is a more efficient, cost-saving, compliant organizational strategy.[5]

Company history

Summarize
Perspective

Computhink Incorporated was founded in 1994 near Chicago, Illinois. The company initially sold a high-security identification card production and management software program called IDtel. Computhink sold one hundred IDtel systems to the United Nations for $1 million in their first year and became their sole ID tag provider. After the success with IDtel, Computhink created their first image viewing and management software program, The Paperless Office,[6] in 1995.

Between 1998 and 1999, The Paperless Office and IDtel were sold in 29 countries across six continents. At this time, Computhink purchased Whetstone Technologies, the primary partner of Novell,[7] to expand their market presence further.

The network for domestic and international resellers was updated and broadened in 2006. Computhink became qualified as a Microsoft Front Runner,[8] allowing them to release solutions alongside Microsoft’s product line. By 2008, Computhink had begun incorporating partnerships and connections with Kodak,[9] Canon, and other third party viewers that complemented document management software. Computhink reached Tier III for the United Nations.

In 2013, the staff at Computhink realized that since 2006, the market’s needs and interests had shifted from document management to content management. Despite consistent updates and enhancements of ViewWise, the company decided to take the next step. The product was rebranded to Contentverse[10] as the eighth version of the software.
