AutoEDMS supports LAN and WAN-based document management, by implementing distributed, client/server databases. ​This provides AutoEDMS users with high-speed, local document management using local document databases, with direct LAN and WAN links to other departments and sites for query/view/print/edit access to remote documents.  In both cases, AutoEDMS provides complete file and record locking control, for simultaneous document access by local and remote users.

" The PSQL database engine is one of the quickest, most robust engines that we've encountered. We're very happy with its performance."

AutoEDMS supports NetWare networks and NT Server networks with a true "client/server" database architecture, based on the Pervasive SQL database engine.  The AutoEDMS PSQL database engine will service both local and WAN-based database queries with a server process, thereby significantly reducing LAN and WAN network traffic (Figure 1). By servicing all database queries at the fileserver, AutoEDMS eliminates LAN and WAN bottlenecks. This client/server architecture is crucial for multi-department and multi-site document control.
