MONTANA has been developing document management systems for more than ten years. The MonDoc System, is a full life-cycle, workflow driven, document management system, which follows paper and electronic documents from their origin or receipt to the archive. No longer need to search for papers, contracts and orders; administration will become transparent and organised. Companies will be able to focus on their core activity. One proof of the unique nature of the product is that in 2007 it was the only product worthy of an outstanding award in the computer technology category of the Hungarian Innovation Award competition.

Why MonDoc System?
• Easy implementation.
• No need for unnecessary copies.
• More effective and faster work processes.
• Analysis of the time dedicated to tasks.
• Individuals and time of access to various types of functions and documents can be defined.
• It facilitates retrieving content from documents.

To whom is it recommended?
Regardless of company size, it offers a customised solution with the best price/performance indicators. A great number of organisations operating in public administration and in the market sector are satisfied users of the MonDoc System. The system has all the certificates required for the public sector and it is also suitable for handling classified documents. Owing to its extensive parameterisation, it is an ideal solution for every company and institution struggling with administration.

How does it work?
One or more types of electronic, .doc, .pdf, .xls, .tiff, etc. files are documents for the purposes of the system. The descriptive information refers to information supplementing or accompanying those electronic documents. In the MonDoc system such descriptive information can naturally relate not only to an electronic document but may also exist individually; e.g., if the descriptive information registers the data of a paper-based document. It follows the life-cycle of thus defined documents from their origin or receipt to the archive or until they are scrapped. In the active cycle, documents remain available for queries all the time, while authorisation management may be changed flexibly.

The MonFlow graphic process organisation system developed by MONTANA Knowledge Management Ltd. allows corporate management to easily understand and automate the existing business and administration processes. Employees will no longer be burdened with the task of organising and executing the work-flow. Everyone will need to concentrate only on their own tasks. In addition, this system can be connected directly to the MonDoc document management system. In 2007, the product gained the IT Business Leadership Award in Product Development, Large Corporate category.

Why MonFlow?
• It assigns responsible officers and administrators to the given tasks.
• It automatically follows the deadlines.
• It facilitates faster throughput times.
• Each employee need concentrate only on their own tasks, which will make work more effective.
• The product can easily be integrated into the existing IT environment.

To whom is it recommend?
The system is based on state of the art web technology, which makes it especially ideal for companies operating on more than one site or requiring remote access. It may be configured on a graphic interface and there is no need for any programming knowledge. The product is used both in the market sector and in public administration. Integrated with the MonDoc document management system, the product has all the certificates required for the public sector.

MONTANA Knowledge Management Ltd. is present in the Hungarian IT market with a number of innovative developments. The DigiSec system, developed by the company, supports detection of simple and complex events in real time and analysis of that information on a continuous basis. It facilitates fast conclusions and effective preventive, partly automated measures responding to the captured information. Primarily events generated by camera images can be integrated into the system, but events generated by other systems (entry authorisation and traffic control systems) may also be included in the analysis. One representative of the potential user segment, MKB Bank, also took part in the project contributing its professional knowledge and authorising the installation of the pilot application.

Why DigiSec?
• It is sufficient to observe one monitor image.
• The system seeks similarity through pre-defined behavioural samples.
• It generates an alert depending on classification.
• The system may be implemented regardless of the size of the area.

To whom is it recommended?
The system is ideal for the surveillance of banks, airports, shopping centres, gas stations, pharmacies and any size and any type of outside public area. No one using the system will miss the occurrence of any important event that is a potential risk to life.

How does it work?
The DigiSec solution is a new approach, supporting complex and integrated analysis of individual basic events and object characteristics. Once the new information generated during the assessment of the data set resulting from the integrated analyses has been processed, complex events may also be recognised. On that basis more effective and more precise risk projection systems may also be built. The system can also observe events from the images of more than one camera and attach content to the generated result, depending on local knowledge. The system interprets the results and launches the respective alerts.

Up-To-Date is a subscription-based service of MONTANA Knowledge Management Ltd., which uses its text mining knowledge management technology (Infohunter). It is capable of regularly monitoring pre-defined content sources accessible on the Internet; collecting the information and selecting it automatically according to the criteria of the topics, relevant to the subscriber. It sends notification of relevant content, or only indications thereof, via e-mail or in any other manner requested by the customer.

Why Up-To-Date?
• Fully automatic.
• Search according to individual information criteria (topics, situations, keywords).
• Information is received directly.
• There is no need to install any program to use Up-To-Date.
• With Up-To-Date, you may obtain relevant information that was not accessible before due to lack of time.

To whom is it recommended?
It is recommended to any company or organisation for whom information published on the internet is important, regardless of whether or not it is press coverage of a particular company or competitor, significant events or products of a specific market sector, tenders issued or results, changes in legal regulations, or any other individual topic.
