Enterprise Collaboration Tools: Page 12 of 14

While installing Quantum, we had to specify a default SMTP server and DNS server information. If this information changed, we would have had to update it in the Oracle database.

We easily pulled information into Quantum from the Web and from local and shared file systems. Its graphical interface is user-friendly, but you must upload documents one at a time. Once a document is imported into the system, it becomes a Q-File (Quantum File) that can be managed as a document, checked in and out, and searched by keyword. It also gets configurable metadata.
