Formtek to Provide University of Michigan with Document Management System

By Meenakshi Shankar, TMCnet Contributor

Document and content management solutions provider, Formtek, has signed a contract with the University of Michigan to provide a Document Management System for use by the University's Space Physics Research Laboratory.

The initial term of the contract is one year.

"Formtek has particular domain expertise implementing both proprietary and open source Enterprise Content Management (ECM) technologies within demanding environments similar to that of the University's Space Physics Research Laboratory," Dennis M. Scanlon, president and chief operating officer at Formtek, said in a statement.


The Document Management System to be provided by Formtek will house, control and manage SPRL documents and metadata. The contract awarded to Formtek includes the Alfresco software subscription, as well as implementation services. Formtek said it will customize Alfresco with a custom content model, automatic document numbering and naming, and a SPRL-unique workflow process.

Formtek will also tend to the software installation and configuration, as well as follow-on support.

The system is to be based on Alfresco Enterprise. Alfresco is the open platform for business-critical document management and collaboration, helping businesses share, organize and protect their content.

Formtek has been an Alfresco Systems Integration Partner since 2007.

University of Michigan’s Space Physics Research Laboratory (SPRL) is a small aerospace design, manufacturing, integration, test and operations organization, located within the University of Michigan's College of Engineering. SPRL's engineering data management processes and requirements are comparable to those of much larger organizations, including the NASA centers and aerospace corporations, with which SPRL collaborates.

SPRL must maintain document archives, containing requirements, design data, parts and materials traceability, manufacturing and test data, contract and financial performance data, etc., for all of its projects.

"We welcome the opportunity to work with the University of Michigan in meeting the SPRL Document Management System project goals," Scanlon added.

Formtek recently announced that its full portfolio of software products for the Alfresco Open Content Platform have been certified for use with Alfresco 4.
