Online, May 4, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Now Anyone, Anywhere on Any Device Has the Power to Collaborate, Compare and Clean Microsoft Office and PDF Documents - Increasing Productivity and Bottom Line Cost Savings

McLeansville, NC: Litera®, the leader in next-generation document lifecycle management (DLM), today announced the launch of Litera Live, a cloud-based solution for easy-to-use document lifecycle management. Litera Live gives anyone, anywhere, from any device, the power to collaborate, compare and clean Microsoft Office documents including Word, PowerPoint (including embedded objects) and Excel, as well as PDF files. The SaaS-based solution also gives enterprise and SMB users the power and flexibility to seamlessly convert documents to PDF and extract PDF files to Microsoft Word while increasing productivity and bottom line cost savings.

Litera Live provides instant access to critical document lifecycle processes from the cloud with immediacy and without any startup costs or implementation burden. The DLM solution also eliminates IT resource requirements and support costs while delivering seamless access from anywhere via any Internet connected device such as computer or mobile. Featuring a flexible and scalable "online credit" based cost structure, Litera Live is an enterprise-class solution without the enterprise cost.

The Litera Live solution is built on the company's patent-pending Litera CommunicatorTM, which provides users with a bi-directional widget for collaborating, comparing, converting and cleaning Microsoft Office and native PDF documents in the cloud. The Litera Communicator is a simple desktop application that connects to the cloud providing users with the look and feel of their desktop application.

With Litera Live, Enterprise and SMB customers can:

Compare all Microsoft Office and native PDF documents, including complex Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents with embedded objects and images
Compare Excel spreadsheets, including both values and formulas
Remove metadata from all Microsoft Office and PDF documents to protect sensitive information and privacy
Convert Microsoft Office documents into a PDF file
Extract native PDF documents to Microsoft Word for editing or comparison and cleaning operations
Download resulting files online or have them sent to an email account

"Litera's cloud computing offering will give legal firms like ours the flexibility to manage documents on premise or off premise, without adding additional software, licenses, or integration headaches. With a click of a button, users will have the ability to access critical documents no matter where they are to increase productivity and infrastructure cost savings."

"The desktop of today's enterprise worker is overloaded with multiple software, add-ins and integration issues that impact productivity and system performance - costing valuable time and money," said Deepak Massand, CEO of Litera. "With Litera Live, we are putting the power of our proven and popular document lifecycle management solutions, Change-Pro®, Metadact® and LDF®, in the cloud, allowing users to efficiently and cost effectively manage their documents no matter where they are.
